Château du Bosc

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château du Bosc, in Mudaison (Hérault), is a 19th-century building in the Renaissance Revival style, with an earlier chapel dating from 1760. Owned by Joubert, treasurer of the province of Languedoc, from 1729 to 1792, it changed hands several times after the Revolution and was subdivided before being acquired from 1815 by Bernard-Jacques-Paulin, comte de Cadolle, whose descendants kept it until the 1930s; the Fournol family later became its owners. The building features bas-relief medallions and sculpted ornamentation on its façade, as well as a troubadour-style fireplace bearing the arms of the de Cadolle family in the main room. Under the Cadolles, a gallery housed a boarding school; the Fournols subsequently made the ground floor available to painters. A privately owned property listed in the general inventory of the cultural heritage, the château opened to the public during the Week-end des Arts in 2019.
