Château de Marsac

The castle features a large square tower with cross-shaped arrow slits and a vaulted ground floor room, connected to upper levels through a trapdoor.

The initial construction of the castle dates back to the 12th century, belonging to Sans Garcié de Manas before passing to the English barons Montesquiou in 1277.

The Renaissance facades of the castle, dating from 1557, demonstrate the architectural modifications made to transform the medieval fortress into a noble residence.

The estate, a private property located on a hill in the village center, includes the main castle, seventeen tenant farms, gardens, and agricultural lands.

The castle maintains a trapdoor in its main tower vault, a remnant of the medieval defensive system connecting the ground floor to the upper levels.
