Château de Couffoulens, Medieval castle in Couffoulens, France
The castle forms a U-shaped complex with a central courtyard, featuring a square tower at its southwest corner and stone-vaulted ground floor.
The fortified site, first mentioned in 1063 under the control of Carcassonne counts, was transferred to Simon de Montfort in 1215.
The castle chapel contains a classified historical monument, a restored altarpiece depicting the baptism of Christ with period artistic elements.
The castle entrance includes two pillars topped with a circular pediment and wrought iron gates, accessible through a spiral driveway.
The castle name derives from the Latin word 'confluens', referring to its location at the meeting point of Aude River and Lauquet River.
