Château de Celeyran

This castle sits on a large estate surrounded by vineyards that produce wines under the La Clape appellation. The buildings are set among the vineyard lands that define the property.

The castle was held by the Mengau-Tapié family starting in the 17th century before passing to new owners in the late 19th century. The transfer to Thérèse Humbert in 1883 marked a turning point in its history.

The painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec stayed here during his youth and created many works between 1880 and 1882. The place carries the memory of this artist through its connection to his creative years.

The estate is now run as a working winery that combines its historical character with modern wine production. Visitors can experience history and viticulture in a rural setting.

The castle was redesigned in the 1920s by a businessman who made his fortune in Argentina, using a Neo-Louis XV style. This renovation blended European architectural traditions with wealth earned in South America.
