Origin and history

Ginestous Castle is a monument located in the municipality of Aggles, in the Occitan region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. Its architecture and location suggest a role in the local organisation, typical of the castles of this region.

In the Tarn, where Angles is located, castles have often served as defence points or seigneurial residences. At an unspecified time, these buildings played a central role in the economic and social life of surrounding villages. Their presence reflected power dynamics and dominant agricultural or artisanal activities, without precise details on Ginestous being accessible.
