Château de Roquecourbe-Minervois

En un regard

Le château en bref

A former seigneurial fief whose history goes back to the 10th century under its first known lord, Bernard de Rocacorba, the Château de Roquecourbe-Minervois passed to the house of Montbrun before being occupied by Spanish troops at the end of the 16th century. Rebuilt in the 17th century by Gaspard de La Porterie, who established a royal cloth manufactory there that remained active until the Revolution, it today retains a remarkable 18th-century interior decorative ensemble (painted canvases, panoramic wallpapers) and a chapel embellished in 1925 by the painter Henri-Justin Marrey. A private property overlooking the village of the same name in the heart of the Aude Minervois, it can only be visited during guided tours organised in summer by the Corbières Minervois tourist office.
