Château de l'Hers, Medieval castle ruin and winery in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, France.
The stone remains of Château de l'Hers include a lower chamber of the medieval keep and sections of a fourteenth-century round tower along the ramparts.
The castle functioned as a control point for river traffic since late antiquity, with archaeological evidence indicating its presence as early as the sixth century.
The estate contributes to the wine production of Châteauneuf-du-Pape by cultivating thirteen grape varieties including Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsaut, and Roussanne.
The site received monument historique status in 1973, marking its protection as a significant historical structure within the French heritage system.
Archaeological excavations near the castle uncovered an ancient necropolis dating from the sixth and seventh centuries, adjacent to the original chapel location.
