History

The village belonged to the counts of Toulouse. The castle comprises several buildings arranged in an L-shape. Originally, a fortified house with thick walls flanked by square towers, built in the 14th century, was rethought in the 17th century to result in a large two-storey building. To the west, a brick wall now destroyed, dominated the remains of a moat still visible. Inside, vast rooms furnished with French ceilings are still in place and served by long corridors. A few stucco fireplaces with 18th-century decoration are still in place. A large room on the first floor possesses painted beams with the theme of battle scenes at the edges of a town, a skeleton on a chariot drawn by a team of winged stags, winged demons, a hunting scene, a putto seated on a skull, an escutcheon.
