Château de Pibrac

En un regard

Le château en bref

Rebuilt in 1540, probably under the direction of the Toulouse architect Nicolas Bachelier, the Château de Pibrac, built of pink brick decorated with Renaissance features, owes its literary renown to Guy du Faur de Pibrac, a sixteenth-century poet and parliamentarian who is said to have composed his moral 'Quatrains' in the decorated study of the château, also known as the 'cabinet des Quatrains' and adorned with a vault bearing a mythological decoration. Hammered and stripped of the tops of its towers during the Revolution in 1794, it was restored with modifications in 1887. Listed as a Monument Historique since 1932, it remains a private property.
