Château de Caveirac stands in Caveirac (Gard), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Caveirac, in the Gard department, a seventeenth-century château now stands at the heart of the village and houses the town hall. Built in two phases by wealthy Nîmes families, it retains from its grander days a painted cabinet under protection and balustraded staircases, while its former courtyard has become an open public square.

What to know

The château now houses the town hall, so part of the building relates to municipal administration rather than visiting.
The former inner courtyard has become a public square, freely accessible.
The painted cabinet on the first floor of the west wing, a listed historic feature, is not open for casual walk-in viewing.
No visiting hours or admission fees are given in the available information, so it is best to check directly with the town hall.
The grounds also include protected outbuildings, gardens and an orangery, visible from the surrounding area.
