Superb Medieval chateau on the edge of a pretty town in the Beziers region expertly blending historical Medieval architecture with high-end, modern renovations in a beautiful setting.

The historic property in Occitanie is just an hour from the Mediterranean and features total living space of 800m2 as well as a 60m2 caretakers house. It has been restored to a rarely seen standard, specifically designed to function as a luxury Chambre d'hotes or a high-end corporate retreat, currently with event capacity of 100 standing / 50 seated.

This exceptional Renovation features a layout uniquely split between a Renaissance Wing and a Medieval Wing, offering distinct atmospheres within the same estate.
It comes with dedicated reception rooms and the the site is move-in ready for a premium restaurant or event venue.
The inclusion of a separate 60 m 2 gite provides essential on-site staff housing or additional private guest quarters.

The story of the chateau begins in the heart of the Middle Ages. (12th - 14th Century).
Originally conceived as a strategic stronghold in the Occitanie region, the Medieval Wing served as a defensive bastion. During this era, the "Old Wing" was characterised by thick limestone walls and narrow openings designed to protect the local seigneurs (lords) during the tumultuous period of the Albigensian Crusade.
The central square courtyard, which today serves as a peaceful sanctuary with its Jacuzzi, barbecue and living room areas, was originally the bustling heart of the fortress - a protected space for horses, soldiers, and artisans to gather within the safety of the walls.

As the South of France transitioned from a landscape of war to one of culture and elegance(16th - 17th Century), the chateau underwent a magnificent transformation.
The Renaissance Wing was added, introducing the era's signature aesthetics: larger windows to invite the Mediterranean light, grander reception halls, and ornate stonework.
This period shifted the property's purpose from protection to prestige. It became a place of gathering, where the nobility of Beziers would host banquets, celebrating the region's burgeoning wine culture and its proximity to the royal trading routes leading toward the sea.


In recent years, the chateau has undergone a meticulous "renaissance" of its own. Unlike many ruins in the region, this property was renovated with a philosophy of preservation through luxury. Every effort was made to respect the 800-year-old stone chateau walls of the building while integrating 21st-century comforts.

The result is a seamless flow between the rugged, atmospheric charm of the Medieval era and the sophisticated, airy elegance of the Renaissance-now fully equipped to host the world's most discerning travellers.

The Guardian House: Historically the "maison du gardien," this 60 m2 structure has watched over the main gates for centuries, ensuring the privacy and security of the estate's inhabitants.

The Courtyard: The unique square layout is a classic example of Mediterranean "cour d'honneur" architecture, designed to provide a private micro-climate protected from the Tramontane winds.

Situated just an hour from the sea, the chateau has stood as a silent witness to the history of Languedoc, from the rise of the Cathars to the golden age of French viticulture.
