Château de La Salvetat-Saint-Gilles stands in La Salvetat-Saint-Gilles (Haute-Garonne), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 14th century, first quarter of the 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
About twenty kilometres west of Toulouse, the château de La Salvetat-Saint-Gilles combines a fortified façade dating from the 13th and 14th centuries with a residence reworked up until the 18th century. Built around an enclosed courtyard, it features two wings connected by arcaded galleries, one of which retains, on the first floor, a stencilled painted ceiling dating from the early 17th century. Bought by the local council in 2016 after a period of decay, the building underwent restoration work starting in 2019, particularly on its west wing.
