Sévérac-le-Château (French: [seveʁak lə ʃɑto]; Languedocien: Severac del Castèl) is a former commune in the Aveyron department in Occitania, southern France.

The construction of the A75 Clermont-Ferrand - Béziers in 1998, reinforced by the implementation of the service Millau viaduct in 2004, and making 2 × 2 lanes of the N88 Toulouse - Lyon confirmed the important location of this intersection.

Located in the street of Moat, the building's architecture is an artistic feat of the era with its parabolic arches beams that support the structure.

In 2011 the college was the work funded by the General Council to set standards (creation of a lift, wall insulation) and technology workshop was turned into a gym.

Visible from all points of the horizon, the castle of the 13th and 17th centuries dominates the plain where the Aveyron takes its source.

The medieval city, built on the slope southeast of the mound (for better illumination of the sun), was once protected by a rampart and four fortified gates, two still exist, the Peyrou and that of Latazou.

They open on other streets and carayrolles, lanes sometimes appointed stairs due to the terrain, under houses, covered passageways, vaulted or not.

Divided into 6 districts, artisans and merchants thrived in these walls and, in particular, the weavers who made cadis, quite thick woolen and uncombed for making, among other things, military clothing.

Sheets and paintings were also manufactured and sold in the city, with convoys of saddles animals in the south of France and to Genoa in Italy.

Among the notable buildings: the Maison des Consuls, House of Joan, the Sestayral (grain market), the Romanesque fountain, and Holy Saviour Church.

Recently, a team shooting a horror film about the castle called "The House of the bad dream" because it is rather frightening and hides many mysteries.

Located in the district of Calquières the building was built between the eleventh and the twelfth century by the monks of Puech Agudet (now occupied Notre Dame de Lorette).

The family of Lapanouse built this castle in the 13th century but the lords of Sévérac constantly challenged this property.

Large house, flanked by four round towers with very thick walls, he had a very important role in the religious wars where it was taken and retaken by the two camps.

The first church of Saint Dalmazy was built in the 9th century by the monks of fortified monastery of La Canourgue a dependent on the abbey of St. Victor of Marseille.

[8] In 1651, the Duke Louis d'Arpajon, lord of the castle Sévérac built, opposite the hill of Sévérac, an atonement chapel of the death of his wife Gloriande Thémines and to redeem the crimes of his mother Jacquette Clermont (a Protestante who, allegedly, who have ordered the death of several Catholic priests through having them cast down a cliff).

Lorette The chapel of Our Lady contains the heart of the Duke, his mother and of his second wife, Marie de Simiane.

Thus every night at family prayer, the shepherdess was not wanting to add a "Pater per ocquelo qu'es ol Palio" ("Our Father for that which is hidden in the barn" in Occitan) without anyone understood the meaning of his words.

When worship was restored, Mary revealed the presence of the statue which was carried in the parish church Saint-Sauveur, where it remains today.

Hot gases passing through the raw material, the vapor collected at the outlet was condensed and ran after a close heavy oil fuel.

This time, it remains the artificial lake, currently property of Sévérac Community of Communes, and the 2 dumps only witnesses of industrial activity.

In 1996, the firm responsible for ANTEA hydrobiological study of the lake presented its report: bacteriological examination of water is very satisfactory (no coliform, no streptococci).

The lake is spring fed from water seepage in the shale layers and flowing along the limestone strata.

The greatest depth is 5.80 m. Since 1998, under the leadership of the community of communes and cantonal tourist office, this site has been valued by external developments: creation of a sanitary room, a car park and surrounding areas, public lighting and connection networks.
