Nestling among the cliffs of the Gorges du Tarn, Château de la Caze opens onto a spacious park on the banks of the Tarn. Classified as a historic monument in 1936, it now houses a luxury hotel and restaurant. A château de plaisance, it was built in 1490 by François Alamand as a wedding present for his niece Soubeyrane.

A family story
This intra-family marriage produced 5 daughters, whose beauty was praised throughout Gévaudan and Rouergue.
One of these daughters, Gabrielle, succeeded her mother and married Bertrand de Currière, and in 1563 their daughter Anne married Bertrand de Mostuéjouls, “Le Capitaine de La Caze”, a leading figure in the fight against the Huguenots. When his wife died without leaving him an heir, he married Marguerite de Chapelu in a second marriage. A daughter was born: Jacquette de Mostuéjouls, who married Jean de Maillan, seigneur de Grandlac. Thus, the two estates were reunited. When Jean de Maillan was widowed, he took Anne des Ondes as his wife. In 1637, she commissioned Prunier’s famous painting in the Salle des Nymphes, on the first floor of the château’s southeast tower.
