CHÂTEAU DES NESTES
ARREAU , Hautes-Pyrénées – Cultural heritage
About
The architecture of the castle recalls ten centuries of the history of the Aure Valley. Built on the wall that enclosed the Neste du Louron district, it served as protection for the neighbouring sanctuary dedicated to Saint-Exupère. This military and hospital building served as a commandery. It took the name of the Château de Camou (“land of water”) because of the humidity of the place. Its central tower surmounted by a wooden bell tower (19th century) served as a family astronomical observatory. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
