Origin and history
The Château de Mélac is a building located in the commune of Saint-Rome-de-Cernon, Aveyron, in the Occitanie region. Listed as historical monuments since 1992, it is located at the edge of the Larzac plateau. This castle is associated with the family of Gozon, a medieval line whose influence extended into the Rouergue.
The monument, whose origins date back to the late Middle Ages, is now protected for its architectural heritage. Although the available sources do not specify the details of its construction or transformation, its registration in 1992 reflects its historical and cultural importance. The official site of the castle offers practical information, suggesting that it could be open to visit or offer services such as room rentals or guest rooms.
The location of the castle, near the Larzac, a territory marked by rich history and ancient human occupation, strengthens its anchoring in a landscape both natural and historical. The data from the Merimée database confirm its exact address at Saint-Rome-de-Cernon, in the department of Aveyron, under the code Insee 12243.
