Castle of Mazères, Medieval castle in Barran, France.
The castle rises on an elevated platform surrounded by ditches, featuring a quadrilateral layout with buildings arranged around a central courtyard with rusticated porticoes.
Dating from the 11th century, the castle received land donations around Barran, including vineyards at Mazères by 1080, becoming the summer residence of Auch archbishops.
The interior displays ornamental plasterwork in the salon and archbishop's chamber, along with painted decorations in the chapel from the 19th century.
The castle opens for guided tours, allowing visitors to explore the restored rooms, including the Louis XV staircase and coffered ceilings from different periods.
During World War I, the castle served as a military hospital for wounded soldiers before falling into disrepair until its purchase and restoration in 1981.
