Château de Sibra stands in Lagarde (Ariège), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Lagarde, in the Ariège department, the Château de Sibra owes its present appearance to a late 19th century rebuilding that turned an older fortified house into a troubadour style residence. Crenellations, machicolations and Renaissance inspired openings make up an eclectic architecture typical of the grand aristocratic estates of that period. The 15 hectare landscaped park, laid out from 1883 onwards, combines rare trees, ponds and garden follies, including an obelisk, an artificial grotto and a former honey house shaped like a log cabin. Inside, visitors can see fireplaces decorated with glazed tiles from the Virebent workshop, stained glass windows signed Saint-Blancat and tapestries in a medieval style.
