En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Laloubère (Hautes-Pyrénées), near Tarbes, stands on the site of a former feudal motte. The present building is said to have been moved around the year 1000, and was then substantially remodelled in the Empire style around 1818–1823, with the erection of a commemorative column in 1823 marking a visit by the Duchess of Angoulême. The site comprises, in addition to the château, a chapel (a former parish church), an entrance pavilion and its park, which has since been converted into a golf course. The ensemble has a massive appearance owing to the 19th-century additions, and it contains a ‘Pompeian’ staircase decorated with figures in antique costume, as well as reception rooms with painted ceilings and decorative panelling. The building has been partially listed as a monument historique since 1995.
