Château de Gudanes, Medieval and modern castles in Château-Verdun, France

The castle complex includes two structures: a medieval ruin overlooking Château-Verdun village and an 18th-century neoclassical building along the road to Beille plateau.

The first written record of the castle dates to 1213, when Raymond-Roger de Foix pledged allegiance to King Peter II of Aragon.

During the 13th century, the castle provided shelter to Cathars seeking refuge from religious persecution in the region.

The Château de Gudanes, classified as a historical monument since 1994, underwent restoration work starting in 2013 after years of deterioration.

The neoclassical château, designed by architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel, spans 43,000 square feet across five floors.
