Château de Terride, Medieval castle in Mirepoix, France

The Château de Terride stands on a 356-meter hill north of Mirepoix, featuring a square tower, defensive walls, and a stone bridge from 1652.

Built in the early 12th century, the castle belonged to the Bellissen family until 1563, when it passed to the Lévis family through Catherine Ursule de Lomagne's dowry.

The castle hosts the annual Castel Artès festival since 2021, presenting musical performances and artistic events in its historical setting.

The site offers guided tours during heritage days organized by the Pays d'art et d'histoire des Pyrénées Cathares, with restoration work currently in progress.

The castle contains remnants of both an 11th-century fortified village and a 13th-century noble residence, displaying two distinct architectural periods.
