Château de Pézenas, Medieval castle in Pézenas, France

The Castle of Pézenas combines Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles with seven distinct towers, including one that functioned as a chapel.

The first records of the castle date back to 990, and it welcomed several French kings, including Louis VIII in 1226 and Louis IX in 1252.

The castle currently hosts concerts and theatrical performances within its recently reconstructed walls from the early 21st century.

The estate spans 60 hectares with 600 square meters of living space and 1500 square meters of outbuildings suitable for various projects.

Cardinal Richelieu ordered the castle's demolition in 1632, compelling the residents of Pézenas to destroy this monumental structure themselves.
