Château de Saint-Hippolyte-de-Caton stands in Saint-Hippolyte-de-Caton (Gard), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château of Saint-Hippolyte-de-Caton in the Gard is a noble estate built around two separate courtyards: one for the main residence, the other for outbuildings. Though its foundations date from the late 15th century, the ensemble took its present form largely during the 18th century. The eastern wing, rebuilt in 1724, displays the refined taste of Paris nobility through its interior decoration. The property also includes a 19th-century garden, an orangery and a greenhouse.

What to know

The garden was replanted in the 19th century by Louis-Augustin d'Hombres-Firmas, a botanist and scholar.
