En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Versols, in Versols-et-Lapeyre, now belongs to André de Roquefeuil. In 1132 the lord of Versols gave the fief to the Abbey of Sylvanès before leaving for Jerusalem. In 1256 Jean I de Roquefeuil purchased the fiefs of Versols and Saint-Félix-de-Sorgues, endowing the site with a fortified motte with an inner courtyard, then a postern, three corner towers and two external machicolations. The present residence, built in the 15th-16th centuries, has two full storeys above a base, two Renaissance windows and a great Gothic hall with a fireplace and remains of wall painting. In 1731 Élisabeth de Roquefeuil inherited the seigneuries. Abandoned in the 1960s, the château was restored by André and Geneviève de Roquefeuil; its great Gothic hall was listed as a historic monument in 1988. The château takes part in the Heritage Days (Journées du Patrimoine) and offers guided tours.
