Château de Sainte-Eulalie-d'Olt

En un regard

Le château en bref

In the centre of the village of Sainte-Eulalie-d'Olt, listed among the Plus Beaux Villages de France (Most Beautiful Villages of France), the original castle of the de Curières family, some of whose knights took part in the Crusades, fell into ruin and was replaced at the end of the 15th century by the present building. Rectangular in plan with a slight projection and an external stair tower on the garden side, it features a portico and a Gothic mullioned window on its main façade, and on the garden side a semicircular tower housing the staircase. The interior retains a Renaissance fireplace in the study and a Gothic fireplace with traces of paint in the living room, as well as French-style beamed ceilings (plafonds à la française) on three levels. The façades and roofs have been listed (inscrits) as historic monuments since 4 February 1976.
