Gaston VII Moncade made Sauveterre one of his principal places of war. With battlements and walkway the castle vicomtal replaced the fortified camp. Gaston III of Foix-Bearn (Gaston Febus), renovated it beautifully a hundred years later. The doorway opened onto the guardroom from the drawbridge above the pit below linking the castle to the barbican (which can still be viewed). The castle included a chapel, banquet room, kitchen, housing guards and of course the lodgement of the lord. A large portion of the external walls remain however nothing of the interior which is now an overgrown parkland.
Adjacent to the ruins is the magnificent chateau Nolivos, afterwards Labusquette and finally the Hostellerie du Chateau when it was transformed by Paul Camy for hotel accommodation with parquet floors in the lounge and restaurant areas with an impressive central staircase leading to the upper floors.
The property fronts Rue Léon Bérard with two entrances and a circa 50m street frontage in the historic quarter of the village of Sauveterre de Bearn, recognised as one of the most beautiful villages in France by the Guide Michelin.
