I was born in Germany, and my family has owned this château for many years. For a long time, it was our summer holiday residence when we came here from Germany. A few years ago, I decided to leave Germany behind and build my life in France, because I truly value the culture and warmth of the people here. As my guest, you are welcome to experience a piece of this culture yourself – for example by visiting the charming local farmers’ markets or simply enjoying authentic French life in the Pyrenees. And who knows – you might even enjoy lending a hand with the restoration work, maybe by helping to build a wall or take part in small tasks, and share in the revival of this historic château.

Château Montegut – Rustic Private Rooms in a Castle (outdoor area under renovation but usable) Welcome to Château Montegut in the heart of the Pyrenees! We offer private rooms with en-suite bathroom and toilet in a historic castle that our family has been lovingly restoring for years. A large terrace with stunning mountain views is also available to relax and enjoy nature. Please note: The outdoor areas and annex buildings are under renovation, but remain accessible and usable for our guests.

We are located about 200 km from the Mediterranean Sea – perfect for anyone who would like to make a little detour to the coast. The famous pilgrimage town of Lourdes is just an hour’s drive away, and Bordeaux can be reached in around two hours by car. For those seeking adventure, you can also book white-water rafting trips on a nearby river. Closer to home, the Pyrenees offer endless opportunities for hiking, cycling, and nature walks. The area is also known for its local farmers’ markets, where you can discover fresh produce, cheeses, and wines from the region. Picturesque villages and historic sites are scattered throughout the valleys, each with their own charm and traditions. Staying at the château means not only relaxing in a unique historic setting, but also having easy access to authentic local culture and outdoor activities.
