Between Rodez et Millau. For more than 900 years, this castle has been maintained in the same family; one of the oldest families in Rouergue, where Crusader knights, prelates and high-ranking soldiers, took part in some major events in the history of France. It also presents an interesting example of architectural evolution from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. 1: The ground plan, in the defensive shape of a 'horseshoe' seems, according to Jacques Miquel, to correspond to that of a very old castle, of the type of the feudal mound and would then be prior to the year one thousand. This would make it one of the oldest castles in the department. 2: In 1642 it was partly destroyed by an accidental fire and rebuilt at the same time on its foundations, including architectural elements from the Italian Renaissance style: door bearing the family arms in the interior courtyard, windows and monumental pediment on the south side, balustrade on the terrace etc. The frame is built in the shape of an overturned boat hull. 3: In the middle of the 19th century, many restoration works and modifications to the exterior and interior of the castle were undertaken by the Marquis, influenced by the neogothic style: doors and windows of the interior courtyard, crenellated wall, eye-catching decorations... The fortifications of the ancient fortress have given way to pleasure gardens with terraces, suspended mound, greenhouse, entrance gate, emblazoned fountain. The castle park is closed off by an adjoining wall and several accesses, including one overlooking the church square (greenhouse). Despite the successive alterations, some vestiges of the old castle have been preserved: loopholes, fishbone fittings, machicolations, pilasters, ribbed vaults... The castle has been listed in the supplementary inventory of Historic Monuments since 1991, and was open to guided tours until 2015.

A castle and its renovated medieval keep with a stunning view over the surrounding 15 ha of open countryside, on the edge of a historic village between Conques and Espalion. Built on a southern hillside, on a site that dominates the village 200 m to the east, the castle sits in the heart of nature and cannot be made out from the first buildings of the town. The narrow road leading from the valley to the property ends in front of a barn and a perimeter wall. Past a heavy wooden gate, a driveway bordered by chequered terraces leads to the castle. The land includes fields and forests with a combination of oak, chestnut, ash and walnut trees and, below the castle, old varieties of fig, apple and plum trees. Situated in an old wine-growing area, the building was once surrounded by vines: the ancient unused terraces have disappeared under the cover of the budding oak. A network of pipes linking eight cisterns, still partially accessible, ensured the collection of rainwater in winter and the irrigation of crops. At the rear of the castle, on a terrace maintained by pink sandstone supporting walls, there is a garden followed by a swimming pool. The garden consists of a parterre with four rectangular beds, punctuated with terracotta lanterns. It is accessed from the living room via a glass door. The pool, which faces the setting sun, is edged by a row of trees on the valley side. A footpath leads from the castle to the village.
