Château de Perdiguier

En un regard

Le château en bref

Perdiguier Castle stands in Maraussan, on the outskirts of Béziers, at the heart of an agricultural and wine-growing estate. It is a former medieval castle whose Mérimée listing dates its origins to the late 13th century, and which was heavily remodelled in the 17th and 18th centuries. Its name recalls Jean Perdiguier, treasurer of Languedoc to King Charles V, to whom the property is attributed in 1375; he was murdered during the Montpellier uprising of 1379. One of the castle's towers houses 17th-century mural paintings. The façades and roofs have been listed as monuments historiques by order of 20 September 1972. Since 1968, the castle has belonged to the Feracci family, who live there and run an estate combining vineyards, trees and aromatic plants, producing wine and honey. The exterior can be visited all year round, and guided tours are offered by reservation.
