Le château en bref
The château of Cazouls-d'Hérault, a former Templar commandery of the Order of the Temple founded in the early thirteenth century, was remodelled in the fifteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In 1203, the bishop of Béziers gave the churches of Saint-Pierre de Cazouls and Saint-Véran d'Usclas to the commandery; the first known commander is attested after 1225. Seven Templar commanders are documented between 1225 and 1307, including Brother Étienne Trobat, preceptor of the bailiwick of Cazouls in 1307. After the dissolution of the Order of the Temple, the property passed to the Hospitaller commandery of Pézenas. The north façade with its tower, the corner turret, the French-style ceiling of the great hall, the chapel and the remains of the enclosure wall have been listed as monuments historiques since 1979. The château is now privately owned.
