Reconstructor of the castle around 1750.
Origin and history
The castle of Cadeilhac, located in Muret in Occitanie, was rebuilt around 1750 by François d'Abolin, former apothecary of the king of Naples. This agricultural estate, typical of the region in the eighteenth century, is organized around a central house surrounded by outbuildings and commons arranged in the forecourt and inner courtyard. The remains of a park, with a pool and aisles, complete this architectural ensemble.
The château chapel houses a gypsy altarpiece decorated with a painted canvas, a remarkable element of local heritage. The whole, including facades, roofs, gates and fence walls, was inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 26 January 2004. This castle illustrates the architecture of the large agricultural estates of the region, although its construction is part of a tradition dating back to the seventeenth century.
The estate of Cadeilhac reflects the economic and social organization of Occitanie in the 18th century, where agricultural properties played a central role in local life. These ensembles, often sponsored by wealthy notables or bourgeois, combined farming, seigneurial residence and sometimes religious functions, as evidenced by the chapel decorated with the castle.
