Really fascinating chateau - great exhibitions and we love the whispering room.
Impressive medieval Castle with rich history surrounded by the village of Lavardens. The first mention of a castle in Lavardens is attested in 1140 in the black cartulary of Sainte-Marie d'Auch cathedral. The first known castellan was Géraud de l'Isle Arbéchan, a vassal of the Count of Fezensac. By succession, the castle became the property of the Counts of Armagnac and a royal fortress under the sovereignty sometimes English, sometimes French. The fortress was stormed and fell into the hands of the troops of Charles VIII in 1496 who partially destroyed it. Thus, the count's castle remained in this state for one hundred and twenty-four years.
