En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Vibrac, in Durfort-et-Saint-Martin-de-Sossenac (Gard), comprises a Romanesque tower and a massive square keep, whose current crenellated top dates from an early 20th-century restoration carried out with the labour of German prisoners of the Great War. Although the barony is mentioned as early as 1252, the keep is only attested with certainty at the end of the 15th century, while the rectangular main building, flanked by small circular corner towers, dates from the 16th century. With its older towers, related to those of Durfort or Tornac, the site seems to have served from the 13th century as an outpost of Durfort, overseeing the road to Anduze. As a private property, only the exterior can be visited. The description previously recorded for this entry, relating to a homonymous château in Charente, has been corrected.
