Château d'O, 18th-century castle in Montpellier, France
The Château d'O features a central forepart with a noble floor above the garden level and an attic adorned with an oculus window.
Between 1743 and 1750, architect Charles Gabriel Le Blanc designed this castle for Jean-Emmanuel de Guignard, the viscount of Saint-Priest.
The estate now functions as a performance center, containing a 230-seat theater and an outdoor amphitheater that accommodates 1,800 spectators.
The Department of Hérault maintains the castle grounds and gardens, which remain open to visitors from Tuesday through Sunday throughout the year.
The gardens display preserved boxwood parterres and Aleppo pines from the eighteenth century, along with water features designed for aquatic celebrations.
