Château de Castanet

Lozère, Occitanie

Built at the end of the 16th century, the Château de Castanet, in the Lozère, was used for two centuries by the Isarn family, then sold as national property during the Revolution. It was saved from the water in the 1960s, when the EDF dam was built, thanks to its listing on the inventory of historic monuments.

The château reopened in 2006 after a complete restoration following a fire. It now houses a permanent exhibition on the history of the area and temporary exhibitions by artists and craftspeople.
