En un regard
Le château en bref
The Castellas Redoubt, also known as "Tour dite Redoute du Castellas", is located in Sète (Hérault). It dates from the last quarter of the 16th century. It is a three-storey tower: the ground floor probably served as a food store, the first floor is lit by loopholes and covered by a barrel vault, and the second floor has a summit platform fitted with a corbelled turret (échauguette) and machicolations. According to the Mérimée notice, the coastal towers may have replaced older lookout posts. The building has been listed as a monument historique since 1939 and belongs to a private company.
