Origin and history

The Château de la Verrerie is a monument located in the municipality of Carmaux, in the Occitanie region. Although its name evokes a glass industry, there is no specific information to date its construction or to trace its detailed history from available sources. Monuments such as the Château de la Verrerie, often linked to artisanal or industrial activities, played a central role in the local economy.

In Occitanie, glass and other factories were generally associated with influential families or corporations, thus helping to structure the social and economic life of rural or semi-urban territories. These buildings often reflect the dynamics of production and trade of their time.
