Château de Peyroutet-Vadier stands in Montaut (Ariège), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

A seventeenth-century house in Montaut, Ariège, Peyroutet-Vadier takes its name from Marc-Guillaume Alexis Vadier, a figure of the French Revolution who lived there before going into exile in 1816. Once a priory under the authority of the bishopric of Pamiers, the estate retains its original arrangement: main house, dovecote, outbuildings and farm buildings set around a park created in the eighteenth century. The interior spaces preserve period wallpapers, wood panelling and ironwork.

What to know

Access to the estate and visiting arrangements are not specified in available sources; prior inquiry is recommended.
The monument is protected as a whole under the historical monuments designation, inscribed since 1993.
The interior architecture of the main building is organised over three levels: service areas on the ground floor, principal rooms on the first floor, and bedrooms arranged under the eaves.
The site remains closely tied to nineteenth-century French political history, particularly through Vadier's role at the Convention.
