Lavardens Castle

Guide of the Gers

Travel Guide > France > Midi-Pyrénées > Gers > Lavardens Castle

The former military capital of the Counts of Armagnac, the imposing Lavardens Castle is surrounded by a picturesque village and proudly towers over the Gascon countryside. Built in the 12th century and then rebuilt in the 17th century by Antoine de Roquelaure, a companion of Henry IV, this beautiful building and listed Historic Monument is open to visitors from mid-February to mid-January, and regularly hosts art exhibitions. Inside, be sure to admire the splendid ornamental brick and stone tiling decorated with geometric patterns!

The charming medieval village nestling beside the castle is worth a look, with its pretty side streets and rampart ruins.
