Château de la Mogère

To make a day of it

Château de la Mogère stands in Montpellier (Hérault), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 18th century). Adult admission costs 10 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on September 4, 2026.

Near the Odysseum district, the Mogère is one of those pleasure houses that Montpellier merchants had built outside the city in the 18th century. The main draw is the park, where a water feature decorated with shells and trompe-l'œil frescoes lines up at the end of an avenue alongside a small aqueduct and a carved fountain. The garden façade, built in dressed stone, opens onto a terrace linked to the flowerbeds by a set of steps. The estate, kept within the same family since its second owner, can be seen in part through guided tours.
