Origin and history

Hautpoul Castle is a monument located in the commune of Cugnaux, in the Occitanie region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. Its name and location make it an important part of the built heritage of this urban area near Toulouse.

In the general historical context of Occitanie, castles have often played a central role in the social and defensive organization of the territories. In Cugnals, as in other communes in the region, these buildings could serve as seigneurial residences, local power stations or strategic points for the control of communication axes. Their presence generally reflects the importance of feudal or post-feudal structures in the daily life of populations.
