# Château d'Aumelas

Aumelas, Hérault, Occitanie

Château d'Aumelas stands in Aumelas (Hérault), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 11th century, 12th century, 14th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Perched on a rocky spur near Montpellier, the ruins of Aumelas castle recall a fortress first recorded in 1036. Visitors can make out a Romanesque keep housing a castle chapel, a double enclosure cut into the limestone rock, and the remains of a seigneurial hall. The site traces the history of the lords of Montpellier, its later attachment to the kingdom of Aragon, and its eventual return to the French crown. Now in ruins, it draws visitors for its medieval architecture and its remote hilltop setting.

**Practical details not verified yet.** We know this château and where it is, but we have not yet checked its opening hours or prices at the source. We would rather tell you than display something we are unsure of.
