Château de Brametourte, founded in the
11th century, surveys a stunning
panorama across 20 hectares of park
land, woods & sun-flowered fields
towards the Pyrenean peaks.
The tranquil beauty of this ancient home
of Barons & Viscounts, including
Toulouse-Lautrec’s ancestors, belies its
turbulent past. The castle was immersed
in the religious fervour of Cathars,
Knights of the Templar & the Wars of
Religion. Sieged during the 16th century,
it fell into disrepair.
Frozen in time, it provides a unique
insight into the fortifications of Eleanor of
Aquitaine’s feudal Lords. The Château
has recently been traditionally and
ecologically restored; pioneering one of
France’s first, self-sustainable castles.
We invite you to share this experience
as a guest of the Château. We provide
elegant castle rooms, furnished with
ancient oak, paintings, rich satins &
tapestries. You may stay as a guest,
rent out the Château or arrange private
or corporate events.
