Description
LOT ET GARONNE - IN PERIPHERY OF AGEN - Established on a line of defence linking the Garonne to the Pyrenees, castle to be restored belonging to the same family since the middle of the 17th century and finding its origins in the 16th and 19th centuries. Partly listed as a historical monument, it develops about 630 mA² (6,306 sq ft) with 15 main rooms.
Numerous architectural features. 3 towers recall its defensive origins, 2 round towers to the south, an octagonal entrance tower with spiral stairway to the north.
The 2 round towers, partly destroyed during the French revolution, were renovated in the 19th century by the Bordeaux architect Gustave Alaux, a member of the Gironde Commission for Historic Monuments and Buildings in 1857, a disciple of EugA¨ne Violet le Duc.
