Château de Lagarrigue dans le Lot

Origin and history

Lagarrigue Castle is a building located in the municipality of Strenquels, in the Occitan region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. This monument therefore remains partially mysterious for local historians.

In Quercy, the region to which Strenquels belongs, castles have often played a central role in the social and economic organization of the territories. They served as seigneurial residences, defence places or symbols of power. Without specific information on Lagarrigue, it can be assumed that he was able to perform one of these functions, thus reflecting the local dynamics of the time.
