Château de Castelnou stands in Castelnou (Pyrénées-Orientales), in the Occitanie region of France. Adult admission costs 6.5 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on August 7, 2026.

Standing above the village of Castelnou, this medieval fortress was for centuries the residence of the viscounts who gave the place its name. The ramparts, whose lower courses may date back to the 10th century, bear the marks of a turbulent past marked by sieges and periods of neglect, followed by a late 19th-century restoration. Visitors can explore its irregular pentagon-shaped layout, with a courtyard, vaulted rooms and remnants of towers.
