Château de Drudas stands in Drudas (Haute-Garonne), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 18th century, first half of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
At the heart of the village of Drudas, in Haute-Garonne, this late 18th-century château overlooks the square alongside its neighbouring church, both rebuilt to designs by the architect Carcenac. The estate belonged to a family of Toulouse parliamentarians who had the original, ruined building reconstructed between 1780 and 1789. Visitors can see an orderly complex around the main house, including an orangery, an ice house, farm outbuildings and a dovecote, along with preserved interiors such as an Empire-style drawing room and a suite of small upstairs apartments.
What to know
- The château currently operates as a hotel and events venue, which shapes access to the parts open to visitors.
- The building has been a listed historic monument since 2010, together with its outbuildings, orangery, ice house, dovecote and entrance gate.
- The building shows a mixed state of repair, with notable deterioration on the garden-side façade and some interior decoration.
