Origin and history

Mascarenc Castle is a building located in the commune of Navès, 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 the general context of Occitanie, castles have often played a central role in the social and economic organization of the territories. They served as defence points, seigneurial residences or administrative centres. In Navès, as in other villages in the region, these buildings were linked to agriculture, livestock and local exchanges, reflecting rural life and hierarchies of the time.
