To make a day of it

Château d'Aguts stands in Aguts (Tarn), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Standing atop a hill overlooking the Revel plain, the château d'Aguts keeps in its quadrangular layout and stone moat the memory of a medieval fortress, burned during the Wars of Religion. Rebuilt in the early 17th century by the d'Avessens family, it took on the character of a residence of leisure, with an enclosed inner courtyard bordered by four wings and a classical porch topped with a curved pediment. Inside, painted ceilings and plasterwork survive, along with 17th century murals uncovered in 2016 under a layer of plaster.
