Origin and history

Cors Castle, located in Angles in Tarn (Occitanie), is a small seigneurial residence erected in the 16th century, as evidenced by its roof dating from this time. Originally owned by local noble families, he could have suffered spoliations during the French Revolution, although the archives remain unclear on this point. Its architecture, marked by a body of stone houses partly prior to the 16th century, suggests reshaping or a phased construction.

In the 18th century, the castle was associated with the Hortala family: Pierre-Jean Hortala lived there in 1751 during the marriage of his daughter Marianne. In 1759 Marquis Charles de Baschi mentioned his proximity to the Malbosc estate. During the Second World War, the site hosts a holiday colony. In 2000, Ms. Nonez-Lopez in fact donated to the association AEP la Landelle, dedicated to child protection, launching a restoration in 2014 to make it a tourist center named Cors estate.

Architecturally, the castle consists of a three-storey house body and a square wing, with a coated main façade and an apparent stone part, with narrower windows. The entrance door, decorated with pilasters, overlooks a courtyard planted with a symbolic beech. The estate includes outbuildings (bergery, caretaker's house) and a douglas of 50 meters, intended to accommodate dormitories and reception rooms as part of the current project.
