La Grange des Prés, Heritage château in Pézenas, France
La Grange des Prés is a neo-Gothic estate in Pézenas with surrounding gardens in place of an earlier château. The structure features residential sections arranged around a central courtyard and is officially registered as a historical monument.
The estate was commissioned by Henri I de Montmorency in 1587 and incorporated an existing chapel and farmhouse. In the 1600s it became a wool factory, and later served as a military hospital during the revolutionary period.
The place has served different roles across time: from a noble residence to an industrial site and then a military facility. These shifts shaped how locals understand the estate's connection to various chapters of social and economic life.
The property welcomes visitors interested in exploring the grounds and gardens at their own pace. Before visiting, check ahead for access details since opening times can vary with the seasons.
The estate once hosted theatrical performances by Molière's company under the patronage of the Prince of Conti. This artistic connection makes it a rare window into the cultural life of the 1600s.
