The history around Château de Lavezon
- Around 1100 – A Romanesque keep is built at Najac by Bertrand de Saint-Gilles, son of the Count of Toulouse, on the site of an older fortification.
- 1123–1124 – Cistercian monks found Loc-Dieu Abbey, near Villefranche-de-Rouergue; it later becomes a fortified abbey.

- 1252 – Alphonse de Poitiers founds the new town of Villefranche-de-Rouergue, laid out on a grid.
- 1253–1266 – Alphonse de Poitiers, brother of Louis IX, has the Château de Najac built.
- 1370 – The seat of the seneschalty of Rouergue, held in Najac until then, settles permanently in Villefranche-de-Rouergue.

Neither Expedia nor Wikipedia describes the history of Château de Lavezon itself, and the listing gives no construction date. What the area offers instead is some of southern France’s best-preserved medieval heritage. Najac, a village among the Plus Beaux Villages de France, huddles below its 13th-century castle, whose 6.8 m arrow slits allowed three archers to fire at once; the castle is open to visitors.
Nearby, Villefranche-de-Rouergue is a bastide town created from scratch in 1252, and the Cistercian abbeys of Beaulieu-en-Rouergue and Loc-Dieu show the monastic side of the Rouergue region.
