Origin and history
Château de Lasserre is a medieval building located in the municipality of Béraut, in the Gers department in the Occitan region. Built in the 14th century, it underwent major transformations in the 16th and 18th centuries, reflecting architectural changes and the needs of its occupants throughout the eras. Its inscription in the title of historical monuments by order of 24 January 1927 bears witness to its heritage value and the desire to preserve this testimony from the past.
The castle is part of a regional context marked by a feudal and then modern history, where the castles served as both seigneurial residences and symbols of power. In Gers, these buildings often played a central role in the local social and economic organization, hosting agricultural, judicial or military activities depending on the period. Lasserre, by successive amendments, illustrates this adaptation to the political and cultural changes in the region.
Today, the castle of Lasserre remains a historic landmark for the municipality of Béraut, with a location specified at address 186 Impasse de Lasserre. Although the available sources (Wikipedia, Monumentum) do not detail its current use, its status as a protected monument makes it a key element of Gersois architectural heritage, linked to national databases such as Mérimée.
