In the Tarn department, the château de Sauveterre stands on the site of a medieval fortress destroyed during the Albigensian Crusade, later rebuilt in the 16th century by the Auxilhon family, whose descendants still own the property today. The forty-metre-long main building received a neoclassical staircase and trompe-l'œil painted salons in the early 19th century, under architect Bernard Charles. Two towers flank the outer façade, while an adjoining former chapel, now a parish church, holds the tombs of several generations of the family.
