Château de Vieillevigne
The Château de Vieillevigne is a castle and stately home in the commune of Vieillevigne in the Haute-Garonne département of France. Originally built in the 16th century, it was transformed in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
The 16th-century castle was redeveloped and enlarged in the 17th and 18th centuries. Surrounded by a countryside park in the 19th century, it consists of a residence flanked on the north by two circular corner towers, and on the south by two square pavilions hugging a terrace. Two low wings border a courtyard which was closed off with the construction of a fourth building in 1824. Inside is a grand 17th-century staircase and elements of the original 18th-century decoration.
Privately owned, it has been listed since 2001 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
