Château de Lagarde, Medieval castle ruins in Lagarde, France
The remains of Château de Lagarde include multiple towers and curtain walls standing on a hilltop overlooking the Ariège valley southeast of Mirepoix.
Built in the 11th century as a watchtower for the King of Aragon, the castle expanded through centuries with additions of square towers and a rectangular gatehouse.
The French Ministry of Culture designated Château de Lagarde as a monument historique in 1914, preserving its architectural heritage for future generations.
The castle opens daily except Sunday and Wednesday mornings during July and August, with special events including markets and tournaments throughout summer evenings.
At the center of the main yard stands a stone well measuring 62 meters in depth and 2 meters in diameter, constructed with walls 1.20 meters thick.
