Herrebouc Castle

En un regard

Le château en bref

Herrebouc Castle, in Saint-Jean-Poutge (Gers), is of medieval origin, but its present appearance is due to a major programme of building work carried out at the beginning of the 17th century; its dovecote illustrates the architectural style of the reign of Henri IV (1589–1610). The ground floor partially retains a 17th-century ceiling, the farm buildings date from the same renovation campaign, and the mill has kept an intact medieval base; medieval walls survive in the farm buildings, and a wine store was added later. Listed as a monument historique in 1926.
