What can you visit at Peixotto Castle?

The château no longer functions as a residence; it now houses municipal offices. The period elements still visible in public spaces include the central salon with its Louis XVI decoration, the stone staircase, and its ironwork.

When did the château become the town hall?

The ministry notice indicates the interior was transformed for municipal use, but does not specify the exact date of this change.

What does the heritage listing protect?

The 1935 decree protected the façades, roofs, the decoration of the salon overlooking the park, and the wrought-iron staircase; a 2022 decree added the entrance pavilions and the music pavilion.
