The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Saint-Lambert castle, built in Marvejols, Lozère during the third quarter of the eighteenth century, shows the evolution of a provincial residence over more than a century. Starting from a small square building with a round tower, it underwent major transformations between 1762 and 1763, then complete regularization in 1881 by architect Rey. The interior retains period decoration: marble and gypsum fireplaces, overdoor paintings, damask paneling. The estate includes the farmhouse built in 1777, formal and English gardens, and a fishpond, forming a coherent eighteenth-century domain.

What to know

The castle and its outbuildings have been listed as historic monuments since 2010, including the buildings, gardens, terraces and former fishpond.
The interior decoration from the period can be seen: fireplaces, overdoor paintings, gilded paneling and chimney breasts in the drawing rooms and the red bedroom.
The gardens are an integral part of the protected heritage, with their geometric paths, drainage canals and original terrace staircase.
The building's transformation spanned two hundred years, from 1762 to 1881, giving the castle a restructured but respectful framework of its successive states.
The building is privately owned and does not offer regular tourist access.
