This week in the agenda

Château de Terraube stands in Terraube (Gers), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 14th century, 16th century, fourth quarter of the 17th century, 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The château de Terraube stands on a rocky spur in the Gers region, passed down within the same family, the Galards, since its construction around 1272. The medieval core, with surviving stretches of rampart and a former keep reworked in the 16th century, is flanked by classical wings built between 1768 and 1773, forming two courtyards opening onto the gardens and surrounding countryside. Visitors can trace the layering of defensive Gascon architecture and later comfort-driven additions, down to the interior staircase with its wrought-iron railing.
