Rivalan Castle is north of the town center and north of the Saint-Martin church above the Gestas valley. It was built for the d'Angel family in the 17th century. The d'Angel family had feudal rule over Le Pout until the French Revolution (1789–1799) . During the Fronde (1648–1653), Charles de La Porte (1602–1664), loyal to the king, used the castle as a base. The stables were rebuilt in the 18th century. In 1792 the castle came into the possession of the Rivalan family, after whom it is still named today. The house was rebuilt towards the end of the 19th century. The castle is privately owned and used as a winery .
