Nestled at the base of the Pyrenees, this castle exemplifies the elegant architecture of the Napoleon III era, replete with nods to French monarchy, particularly to the Count of Chambord, who vied for the throne under the name of Henri V. Recently, it has undergone extensive restoration work, meticulously executed to preserve its historic grandeur.
Crafted by the renowned architect Azibert, this square-shaped castle boasts a central bay adorned with intricate lion sculptures flanking the monumental coats of arms of the family who commissioned its construction in 1867. Its façade features two turrets in the front and a polygonal tower at the rear, adorned with numerous stone dormer windows embellished with intricate pinnacles.
