Château de Picomtal

The Château de Picomtal, in Crots (Hautes-Alpes), was built in the Middle Ages and renovated in the 16th and 19th centuries. A full restoration in the early 2000s revealed writings by Joachim Martin, documenting 19th-century village life.

Originally a feudal residence, the château expanded over centuries, surviving fires and multiple owners. It was listed as a historic monument in 1989. Restored between 1999 and 2003, it now serves as a guesthouse and event venue.

It features a chapel with 1892 frescoes and a Provençal-style garden, awarded the 2015 National Garden Prize.
