Later, the castle was owned by the Montgomery family of Scotland. Claude Théophile (1655-1745) had it rebuilt in 1737.
Between the 4 medieval towers, buildings of XVIIIth century style are built.
The history of Avaray castle is also that of the De Béziade family who lived there for 300 years.

The buildings were affected by a subdivision into about thirty apartments.
