Originally built for the Dukes of Joyeuse in the mid-16th century, the castle is now used as a hotel.[2] The well-preserved building, flanked by round towers, is regarded as typical of many buildings in the Languedoc and Cévennes regions. A pitted rustic work doorway leads to the austere Renaissance courtyard.[3] The chapel is dated to the François 1er period, the rest of the castle is in the Henri II style. Every room of the house contains a French-style ceiling.[1]
