The château and local history

The Château de Lascazères and its feudal motte date from the early 16th century. The château was completely rebuilt between 1871 and 1876. Those interested in architectural history can therefore understand the building in terms of both its origins and its comprehensive reconstruction.

The château is opposite the Church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste. The washhouse in Lascazères has also been restored. Together, these buildings are specific points of reference for the village’s history, even though they do not necessarily share the same historical story: for the château, the focus is on its date and reconstruction; for the washhouse, on its completed restoration. Alongside its trails and landscapes, Lascazères thus offers different points of interest for travelers interested in built heritage.
