The origin of Técou the 13th century by Henry de Montfort second, as the Abbot of paréage Candeil. Abbey Candeil in Albi, in the order of Citeaux, filiation of Clairvaux was founded in 1152 and brother Gausbert was its first abbot. That of Clairvaux had his establishment at St. Bernard in 1115. Citeaux, in the order of St Benedict dated back to 1098. Candeil Abbey is a Cistercian abbey, the monks were specialized in wine culture, as in Burgundy, Nuits-Saint-Georges.
The origin of Técou in 1277 shows a frame country house in the village, with a circular plan to dominate the plain below. One entry in the village was accepted by protection of the place. The religious and military defense are mixed in the Middle Ages.
One note on the village square the presence of a very old building with buttresses and loopholes. The angle of the brick house large and elongated, one can see the plain of Gaillac below. A remarkable and startling sight not to be missed, over a fleet of box and oak trees to admire.
Upon arrival from the road from Gaillac-Graulhet, the walled town of Técou, known for its legendary wine cellar, in fact draws its expertise in the Cistercian monks of the Abbey of Candeil, history has somewhat obliterated. One can admire the fortified town of Técou from the road on its proud medieval motte, with the steeple of the Church of St. Andrew later, as reconstructed.
