Information
Near Florac on the road that leads to Le Pont de Monvert, it overlooks the valley with its massive structure. Built in granite stone, it looks imposing with its square dungeon flanked with a round tower. Several buildings are centered around the main one. It is mentioned in texts from the 13th century. The succession of owners is: Pérégine de Chabrières, Guyot de Malbosc, Marie-Thérèse de Malboosc de Miral spouse of Jean Antoine de Borne d’Altier du Champ…
During the 14th century, it is the only shelter for inhabitants of the neighbouring villages against the English and Routiers who robbed the region. During the 17th century, the abbot of Chayla, mission inspector in the Hautes-Cévennes stayed there as it was a Catholic fiefdom, before being assassinated by Protestants of Le Pont de Montvert, which triggered the Camisards war.
In 1980, the owners started renovation works. In 1984, this nice ensemble was added to the Historical Monuments list to protect it.
