En un regard
Le château en bref
Château de Puilacher, in the Hérault, retains elements of medieval origin (tower bases), but its present appearance results from a reconstruction in the early 17th century, supplemented in the 18th century by an east wing incorporating the bases of earlier towers. The building combines two T-shaped main blocks, with a round tower to the north and a Languedoc-style façade with a round-arched doorway surmounted by a broken pediment. Inside, the staircase is covered by pendentive vaults dating from the first third of the 17th century. Restoration began in 1975; the façades, the roofs and the stone staircase with its vaulted well were listed as Monuments historiques by order of 21 December 1984. A private property, the château offers bed and breakfast accommodation and opens its doors during the European Heritage Days.
