Origin and history

Château Saint-Roch du Pin, located in the commune of Pin en Tarn-et-Garonne, was built between 1860 and 1870 for the collector Georges de Monbrison. The architect Theodore Olivier, a collaborator of Viollet-le-Duc, drew up the plans in a neo-Gothic and Renaissance style, inspired by the seigneurial residences of Touraine as the castle of Cangé. The interior decor, especially that of the large living room, was entrusted to the painter Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard, while the sculptor Adrien Doriot made the monumental fireplace.

The English park, built between 1881 and 1882 by landscape architect Edward André, completes this architectural ensemble. The communes, built around 1880, include a log-paned pavilion and a dovecote. The castle, which was listed as a historical monument in 1993, reflects the artistic eclecticism of its sponsor, which brought together a collection of works of art and furniture in harmony with the Renaissance style of the building.

The protected elements include the castle, its terrace, the communes, and the park, partially classified in 1988. Architectural and decorative influences, such as the polychrome earthenware tiles inspired by the Écouen castle, demonstrate a desire for prestige and scholarship. The castle remains today a private property, preserving its historical and artistic heritage.
