Located in Junas, the Mas de Christin estate features a unique blend of Neo-Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles, earning the prestige of a historic monument in 1985.

The Mas de Christin is a farmhouse located in Junas, which was inscribed as a historic monument in 1985. The first pavilion of the estate was likely built in the 16th century, destroyed in 1792, and rebuilt around 1825 in the Neo-Gothic style.

The estate is a rectangular building. The parts inscribed as historic monuments include the facades and roofs of the main house, its decorated ground-floor rooms (excluding the kitchen), and the north facade of the outbuildings.

The structure features a Neo-Gothic and Renaissance facade with accolade arches of Venetian inspiration, topped by a monumental semi-circular fronton forming a sort of crown.
