Château de Bon Repos

Château de Bon Repos is a castle with four corner towers and walls built from pebbles and schist stone. White stone frames decorate the windows and create a distinctive appearance throughout the structure.

The castle was built around 1450 by Guillaume Armuet and passed through the hands of several prominent families over centuries. These ownership changes shaped its long journey through history.

Local artists and volunteers use the grounds for theatrical and dance performances that visitors can watch. These gatherings turn the castle into a living cultural center where people come together regularly.

The castle can be visited on specific days of the month, with hours varying seasonally. Plan extra time to explore the grounds and cellars, especially if you want to see the entire property.

The cellars were repurposed for artistic projects after the municipality took over the property in 1976. They now serve as flexible spaces for rotating cultural activities and creative work.
