Our history

Bouquet de fleurs et bougies
château de Fontager histoire

More than 2,000 Years of History

When you arrive at our imposing iron-cast gate and marvel at Chateau de Fontager’s majestic watchtowers you instantly sense the presence of the castle’s more than 2,000 year history. Château de Fontager has been built upon the walls of a Roman stronghold, still visible in the cellar, dating back to 500 years B.C. and French nobility resided here till the beginning of the 20th century.

Legend has it that Pontius Pilate, when he was sent in disgrace to Gaul and became the governor of Vienna in the year 37, lived at our château and that the neighbouring village, Ponsas, was named after him.

In this day and age you are treated to contemporary comfort and all modern amenities in the rooms as well as the common guest areas. However, the high-ceilinged hallways, function rooms and lounge areas with antique chandeliers, stately fireplaces and heritage heirlooms invite you to journey back in time and imagine life in another, grander, era.
