Château de Prat, Stone historical monument in Prat-Bonrepaux, France

The castle features two circular enclosures with a square tower at the southwest entrance, crowned with machicolations leading to an inner courtyard.

Documents from 1273 indicate that the castle belonged to the Counts of Comminges, who established the Barony of Prat during medieval times.

Two alcove bedrooms maintain their 18th-century plaster decorations, while the chapel displays a stained glass window created by Gesta.

The castle stands at an elevation of 380 meters, accessible through successive terraces connected by stone staircases.

Between 1529 and 1543, Bishop Jean II de Mauléon transformed the defensive structure into a Renaissance-style castle with enlarged windows.
