Château de Hac

Château de Hac is a stone castle with a rectangular main structure and five angular towers located in Le Quiou. The rooms contain furnishings and decoration from different time periods, showing how life evolved in this residence across several centuries.

The castle was built in the first half of the 15th century and served as the residence of Jean V's Chamberlain. It later became the home of the Constable Arthur de Richemont, an important military figure of that era.

The interior displays Gothic and Renaissance furnishings, including chests from the 15th century, tapestries, and colored glass windows in various rooms. These collections show how wealthy residents lived across several centuries.

The site is accessible during warmer months and requires appropriate footwear for exploring the stone rooms and stairs. Visitors should plan enough time to see both the interior and the surrounding gardens at a leisurely pace.

The castle grounds preserve a medieval enclosed garden with traditional herbs, roses, and plants arranged in geometric patterns. This garden was recreated based on historical models and shows how such green spaces were designed in that era.
