Château Doujat

En un regard

Le château en bref

Built in the early sixteenth century for Jean d'Aussonne, a councillor at the Parlement of Toulouse, in a transitional style between the late Gothic and the nascent Renaissance, the château remained in the same family for nearly 400 years: Marie d'Aussonne brought it as a dowry when she married Bernard Doujat, thereby founding the Doujat dynasty, councillors of the parlement and magistrates, until its sale outside the family in 1878. Bought back by Adolphe Peyreigne, who created the park (1878–1895), then restored by the Dassier family (1895–1935), it has belonged since 1935 to the family of Mme Gante, currently Christian Gante. The château and its park are among the nine listed sites of the city of Toulouse.
