Origin and history

Cabidos Castle, known as Trubessé Castle, was the seat of the barony held by the Trubessé family from 1419 to 1884. The main house body, dated from the 16th century, was initially flanked by towers (one of which remains today). It was enlarged in the 18th century by a second building adjacent to the north and east, while the openings were pierced to harmonize the facades. The preserved round turret, with its murderer, bears witness to its defensive origin.

In the 18th century, the castle was completed by outbuildings (grange, pavilion) forming a courtyard to the south, while the farmhouse was erected in 1798. The interior decor was entirely redone in the years 1820-1830, and the garden, created in the 18th century, became final after 1827. The partial destruction of the commons around 1930 marked the end of the major transformations of the estate.

The building, partially protected since 1997 (façades, roofs, wallpapers, garden), illustrates the architectural evolution of a medieval seigneury in modern aristocratic residence. The date engraved on the structure of the farmhouse (1798) and the modifications post-1827 (logis, pavilion north) underline its adaptation to the economic and social needs of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
