Castelnau-Montratier: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
The Château de Castelnau-Montratier is a patrician house built in the 13th century that was extensively remodelled in the 17th century.
History and Culture
The Église Saint-Martin features an architectural design inspired by Romanesque-Byzantine architecture, built at the end of the 19th century; its dome was completed in 1935–1936. It offers a beautiful view of the valley.
At the heart of the village is Le Patio des Arts, an exhibition venue where numerous exhibitions take place throughout the year. The Le Bel Utile gallery also showcases art: Florence’s ceramics and pottery are exhibited there; during the season, works by invited artists are added, including sculptures, porcelain and drawings.
