Najac

Maison du Gouverneur

Enter a medieval residence, completely renovated with contemporary fittings and discover a unique didactic route in the heart of the castral village of Najac: a unique experience to share!

The Governor's House houses the Architecture and Heritage Interpretation Center (CIAP).

Gateway to the old castral village, home of a family of merchants in the Middle Ages, then presumed residence of the governor of Rouergue, the building today welcomes, over 450m², all the public to discover the rich heritage of the Country of art and history of the Bastides of Rouergue.

The permanent exhibition explains and highlights the characteristics of the landscapes of Rouergat, the particular town planning of bastides, rescued and castral towns, the architecture and the daily life of a medieval house.

Temporary exhibitions and activities (workshops for young people, guided tours, national events) are offered throughout the year for young and old!

So, alone, with family or friends, let yourself be told the story of the Bastides du Rouergue!

For information, direct access to the Governor's House is not possible by car (narrow streets in the town center of Najac) parking spaces are available to visitors on the outskirts of the village.
