16th Century Château With Swimming Pool And Nymphaeum Near Albi

About the Property

A 16th-century château set within 3.6 hectares of grounds, located merely ten minutes from downtown Albi, on the banks of the Tarn River. This property, primarily constructed between the 16th and 17th centuries with one wing rebuilt in the 19th century, is listed as a regional historical monument. It is notably the birthplace of Jean-François de Galaup, Count of Lapérouse, a renowned navigator and explorer, who spent his childhood here. The château has largely preserved its 18th-century layout. The estate is accessed through a metal gate that opens onto a tree-lined lane leading to the courtyard. The property features a patio that skirts the edifice, providing views of the meadows descending towards the Tarn. A swimming pool harmoniously integrates with the rolling topography, while a former nymphaeum, likely created in the 19th century and supplied by a natural spring, is situated nearby. The grounds boast tall trees, ornamental plants, pastureland, and wooded areas, with the château enjoying unobstructed panoramas of the river from its patio and exteriors.
