Origin and history

Château Vieux de Meilhan is a building located in the commune of Ordan-Larroque, in the Occitanie region. Although its name evokes an ancient origin, the available sources do not specify its period of construction or its detailed history. This type of monument, often linked to feudal organization or to local defence, usually bears witness to the medieval or pre-modern past of the region.

In the Gers, where Ordan-Larroque is located, castles and fortified houses played a central role in structuring the territory. They served as seigneurial residences, places of protection for the population, or administrative centres. In the absence of specific information about the Old Castle of Meilhan, its existence nevertheless fits in with this historical regional context marked by agriculture, local exchanges and a society organized around lords and rural communities.
