Enter history at the castle of Mazères
The castle of Mazères was built in the thirteenth century then regularly enlarged and transformed until finding its current appearance in the eighteenth century. It was the country residence of the archbishops of Auch. Sold as a national property during the Revolution, it was inhabited until the beginning of the twentieth century. Transformed into a military hospital during the First World War, it was then largely abandoned. Having lost roof and floors, it was saved in 1981 and has been the subject of regular restoration campaigns for 35 years.
