En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Candillargues, place du Château in Candillargues (Hérault), was built from 1624 by Jean de Lauzelergues, who had just bought the seigneury, on the site of a medieval castrum first mentioned in the 13th century. It then passed to the old Languedoc family of La Croix, who kept it until after the Revolution. In the 19th century, Émile Galtayries made it the centre of a large wine estate, before the estate was broken up between 1931 and 1935, and the château itself divided into lots in the 1980s. The interior retains ribbed vaulting and a remarkable staircase with straight flights that continues as a spiral with a solid core. Listed in the Inventaire général du patrimoine culturel, it remains a private property.
