Origin and history

Château du Vergnet is a monument located in the commune of Moularès, in the Occitan region. Although its construction period is not specified in the available sources, it is a building that bears witness to the architectural and social history of this geographical area. The castles of this region, often linked to feudal organization or defensive functions, played a central role in the structuring of the territories.

In Moularès, as in other rural communes, these monuments could be used as a seigneurial residence, as a place for controlling agricultural land or as a strategic point in a defence network. Their presence generally reflects the importance of agro-pastoral activities and local exchanges in medieval or modern times, as appropriate.
