Château de Sibra — a fairytale castle is being revived
that Château de Sibra is located near Carcassonne at the foot of the French Pyrenees in the middle of an extensive landscape park. As the new owner, Swiss architect Sibylle Thomke, told me, it was this park that first touched and inspired her.
The 15-hectare park was created around 1880 as an English-style landscape park and houses a collection of various exotic trees, romantic buildings, artificial grottoes and ruins, as well as a pond in which the castle is reflected. There are different perspectives and color changes over the course of the seasons. A walk through the park always offers new views and impressions and invites you to linger and reflect. This variety of sensory impressions finally encouraged Ms. Thomke to buy the park and castle.
Today stands for Guests in the castle five individually furnished, spacious rooms with private bathrooms available; there are three apartments and an entire house to rent in the surrounding farm buildings. There are also equipped kitchens, workshop rooms and various other common areas such as a salon and a library. The castle and its park are so spacious that each guest has an area of 5000 m2 has available.
As in the days of Villary de Fajac, Château de Sibra is constantly evolving. The (new) opening ceremony took place on June 18, 2021, and the following chapters of his story will be presented by Mrs. Thomke and her guests. We at Mosáico would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in us and are proud to have played our part in reviving Sibra's fairytale ambiance.
