Château de Montlaur

En un regard

Le château en bref

The château of the Montlaur family at Murles, now in ruins, is a building distinct from the Château de Montlaur at Montaud, although both were built by the same feudal family: the Montlaurs held the lands of Montaud, Murles and Vailhauquès. The village of Murles grew up in the shelter of this château, whose origins are attested as early as 1121 by a donation from Bernard IV, Count of Melgueil. Abandoned at the end of the 17th century, it was nationalised during the Revolution and then sold to a private owner who used it as a stone quarry.
