Château de Mézens, Medieval castle and historic monument in Mézens, France

Château de Mézens is a castle featuring a prominent tower that rises above the small village in the Tarn region. The structure includes residential buildings, a former orangery, and rooms decorated with painted ceilings and historical details.

The first documented mention of this castle dates to the early 13th century, pointing to medieval origins. A major fire in the mid-16th century led to extensive reconstruction that continued over the following decades.

The castle takes its name from its location and reflects the regional building traditions of Languedoc. Inside, decorated rooms showcase how wealthy families lived during the Renaissance and later centuries.

The castle remains in private hands and is not openly accessible to regular visitors. It is best to contact the owners in advance if you are interested in viewing the property.

The Solages family acquired this property in the early 19th century and continues to reside there today. This continuous ownership across generations is uncommon among historic monuments in the region.
