Just 30 minutes from Toulouse and its international airport, this 12th-century château, listed as a Historic Monument, embodies centuries of history and architectural heritage. Unique features include a round tower with a spiral staircase built into the wall’s thickness, a square tower adorned with listed geometric frescoes, original medieval toilets, and a north façade with its walkway and machicolations, a testament to its defensive past.

Interior spaces
Upon entering, visitors are immediately drawn to the spectacular 16th-century white stone staircase. With its broad steps, straight flights and impressive height (10 metres under the ceiling), it perfectly illustrates the château’s grandeur and refinement.
The ground floor boasts generous volumes with flat wooden-beamed ceilings and majestic brick vaults typical of the region. The 99 sqm ballroom and 45 sqm gallery provide an ideal setting for private or professional events. A 41 sqm catering area completes the level, with potential for further indoor or outdoor expansion to suit larger-scale hospitality projects.

Intermediary floor
Midway up the staircase, a mysterious room rich in historical character gives access to the cellar via the round tower's spiral staircase, creating a unique link between the levels.

First floor
This floor offers soaring 4.95 metre ceilings and solid wood flooring. Mullioned windows flood the spaces with light: the 99 sqm “Gaston Phoebus” hall, the 45 sqm “Pope Clement VI” lounge, and the 45 sqm “Knights’ Gallery”. From the gallery, a discreet door leads to the square tower, home to the listed frescoes and rare original medieval toilets.
The 70 sqm bridal suite, formerly the château’s kitchen, still bears marks on the terracotta tiles where logs were chopped for the monumental fireplace. A rare brick potager (warming oven) remains intact. This space connects to the round tower, where a vaulted room with ribbed arches has been transformed into a modern bathroom, blending historic charm with comfort.

Second floor
The 238 sqm guest residence includes five bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen, and dining room. From here, one can admire the walkway and its machicolations, silent witnesses to the château’s fortified past. A fully renovated and air-conditioned private apartment (140 sqm – 3 bedrooms, one in the tower) offers independent living with lounge, kitchen, bathroom and shower room.

Outdoor features
A 200 sqm air-conditioned orangery, fully equipped, stands on a 400 sqm terrace beneath which are three garages. Additional outbuildings include a 40 sqm garage, a 40 sqm carport, and a plot with permission for 400 sqm of construction on two levels (approx. 800 sqm total).
Further accommodation includes a 1-bed cottage, a mobile home and two tiny houses, adding up to 16 extra guest beds.
