A Brief History
The castle displays little evidence of its eleventh-century origins as it was destroyed during the Revolution and was subsequently used in the nineteenth century as a quarry. There would be very little left at all if it had not been for the intervention of the Laureilhe family who, in 1880, constructed a magnificent edifice on the site of the medieval ruins.
There are several local legends concerning the chateau de St Georges de Montclar.

Forty five metres above ground level, the castle dominates the village ; the best view of this monument to local history can be had from the square between it and the mairie.
