The château de Castellas stood in the commune of Dourgne, in the Tarn department, above the Taurou valley. Founded around the 10th century by the Dourgne family, vassals of the Trencavel, it was captured and destroyed by Simon de Montfort in 1212 during the crusade against the Cathars, whose cause the lords of Dourgne had embraced. After centuries of partial occupation and eventual abandonment, the site was later erased by quarry works in the 20th century, and no built remains survive today.
