More information on Château de la Mosson
This is a true Montpellier "Folie," that is to say a residence built in the countryside by a rich notable of the town in the 18th Century. Joseph Bonnier, treasurer of the states of Languedoc, in 1710 bought the Mosson estate and started work on it in 1723. Then his son finished the work in 1729 as his father died in 1726. The rich family became bankrupt so the castle was occupied by a silk factory, then a dye workshop, and a soap factory at the end of the 18th Century. And in 1982 the town of Montpellier acquired the estate. Come to appreciate the 18th-century architecture of the castle. The inside of the Italian style Salon de Musique is worth a look. You can also take a walk in the 15-hectare ( 37-acre) park, in which only the water buffet survives. Effectively the garden no longer has much left of its former glory but the town is trying to restore it to how it was originally. The area is worth spending some time in as it is full of history.
