In Barjac, in the Gard department, this château combines a reworked medieval keep with a main building rebuilt in the 17th century after the Peace of Alès. Several layers of history are visible here: remains of the 12th century fortified castle, a crenellated watch path, 18th century groin vaults, and an original fireplace in one of the bedrooms.
