Château de Durban, Medieval castle in Durban-Corbières, France.
The northern facade of Durban Castle features a round staircase tower and a square tower, standing prominently above the village on elevated ground.
The castle was constructed on Roman foundations in the eleventh century for the lords of Durban, first documented in records from 1018.
Archaeological excavations beginning in 1967 uncovered Renaissance architectural elements, including elaborate windows and marble columns restored in 1972.
The castle grounds are freely accessible to visitors and maintained by the Comité de Sauvegarde du Vieux Durban under municipal ownership.
After 1873, the castle served as a stone quarry until preservation efforts began, including a period when a Spanish soldier inhabited one remaining room.
