Origin and history

Monbrun Castle, built in the 19th century, is distinguished by its quadrangular architecture and four octagonal towers. It rises on two floors and attices, resting on a semi-entered base. This monument, classified among the Historical Monuments, reflects the aesthetic canons of its time, mixing geometric rigor and residential elegance.

The surrounding park, redesigned from 1896 by landscape architect Edouard André, combines French gardens near the castle and a landscaped park to the north, exploiting natural topography. The distant views, now partially obstructed, once offered a perspective on the old mill located north of the property. This park illustrates the art of 19th century gardens, where nature and artifice combine.

The estate also includes protected elements: the funeral chapel, the communes (excluding modern garage), and the parish church Saint-Sabin with its land. These sets, registered in full by order of December 31, 2014, demonstrate the heritage importance of the site. The architect Froelicher, associated with Edouard André, helped shape this place, today shared between private and communal property.

The location of the castle, in the village of Monbrun (Gers), is specified by GPS coordinates and an approximate address: 5019 Le Village. Although the map accuracy is considered satisfactory (note 7/10), the site remains a major historical landmark of Occitanie, combining architecture, landscape and local memory.
