Le château en bref
Teillan Castle, in Aimargues (Gard), originates from a possession of the Abbey of Psalmody before passing to the Bornier family. Bought back in 1608 by Philippe de Bornier, it was furnished with a Renaissance doorway and a dovecote with 1,500 nesting niches; in 1635 his son Simon obtained permission to form a collection of stone monuments, the origin of the Roman stelae and milestones visible in the 19th-century landscaped park, alongside a noria and a mikveh. Passing to the d'Adhémar family in the 18th century — the prefect Pierre-Melchior d'Adhémar died there in 1821 — the estate now belongs to the de Cazenove family. Listed as a monument historique, it is open to visitors in summer and during the Journées européennes du patrimoine.
