Origin and history

The castle of Rousson, located in the municipality of the same name in Occitanie, is a building dated from the beginning of the seventeenth century. Its architecture follows a classical plan, characterized by four courtes forming the facades of the interior rooms, reinforced by four towers at the ends. The snout windows and openings, classic inspiration, reflect the aesthetic cannons of this period. The main door, decorated with a curved pediment and two bossed pilasters, highlights the sober elegance of the building.

Ranked a Historic Monument, the castle saw its facades and roofs protected by a registration order dated 20 September 1972. This status reflects its heritage value, although available sources do not specify its original use or potential owners. The exact address, 3 Place de Rousson, and its Insee code (30223) place it clearly in the department of Gard, in Occitanie region.

The location of the castle, noted as "a priori satisfactory" (level 6/10), makes it possible to envisage a visit, although the practical information (open to the public, services offered) is not detailed in the sources consulted. The photographs available, such as that of Daniel Villafruela under Creative Commons license, provide a visual overview of this preserved architectural heritage.
