Château Laurens, Agde, Art Nouveau castle in Agde, France
The Château Laurens extends over 1,400 square meters, featuring delicate woodwork, ceramics, and paintings illuminated by natural light throughout different rooms.
Emmanuel Laurens constructed this residence starting in 1898 after inheriting wealth from a baron, incorporating architectural elements from his worldwide travels.
The castle includes specific spaces such as a Japanese hall, Italian patio, and Moorish entrance, reflecting the diverse influences of international architecture.
The castle and its historical garden operate from March through November, with guided tours available through an online booking system.
