Castle of Pomps

Henry de Montesquiou signed a contract with a cagot from Morlanne in 1547 that he would build him a house. From this simple construction, the hexagonal Tourelle with internal staircase has outlasted the course of the centuries. At its foot there are traces of an arched entrance that has been walled up in the meantime. Three windows with roofs let light into the stairwell of the Tourelle. The rectangular main building is covered with a high roof made of red flat tiles. At the foot of the retaining wall is a stone fountain from 1722. The residential wing was rebuilt in the 18th and 19th centuries. Opposite the main building, large outbuildings close off the inner courtyard. Today the castle can be reached via a long avenue of plane trees. It has belonged to the Frouté family for five generations.

In addition to agriculture, the tourist infrastructure in particular contributes to the economy of Pomps to accommodate pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago to Santiago de Compostela. The farmers mainly grow maize and are dairy farmers.
