Château de la Servairie

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de la Servayrie, in Mouret in the Aveyron, retains an original 12th–13th-century tower of the “belfry tower” type, raised by four additional storeys in the 14th–16th centuries after Mouret was attacked and occupied in 1410. Two building campaigns in the Serlian style (c. 1570–1620) gave it its Rouergue Renaissance character, with the addition of an imposing stair tower and a corner bartizan in the early 17th century, followed in the middle of the same century by a gabled roof pierced with dormers and oculi. Held by the d'Entraygues family from the 12th to the late 16th century, it then passed to the Cabanes and later Selves families, to the Laroque de Sénézergues, and then to the Cadrieu and Guiscard families in the 18th century. Having fallen into joint ownership and neglect after the Revolution, it has been restored since 1993 by its current owners, Colette and Roger Fabry, and has been classified as a historic monument since 1995.
