This week in the agenda

Château de Thégra stands in Balma (Haute-Garonne), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Balma, on the outskirts of Toulouse, the château de Thégra owes its present form to Durand d'Abbatia, a Toulouse capitoul who rebuilt in the 16th century an older fortified house already recorded in 1370. Two wings set at right angles, an octagonal stair tower and monumental fireplaces make up the building, but the main interest lies inside: five rooms retain painted ceilings in tempera, with floral patterns echoing the style of later centuries. The estate's current name comes from the Niocel de Thégra family, who acquired it in 1801.
