Château de Celeyran stands in Salles-d'Aude (Aude), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Gallo-romain). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The château de Celeyran stands near Salles-d'Aude, in the Aude department, on an estate held by the Mengau-Tapié family from the 17th century until the late 19th. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec spent part of his childhood here and painted numerous works on the grounds between 1880 and 1882, now kept at the Albi museum. The house still bears the neo-Louis XV decoration commissioned by Edouard Soulas, who owned it in the early 20th century. The estate now belongs to winemaker Gérard Bertrand, who bought it in 2019 after a period of neglect and fire damage.

What to know
- The château is a listed historic monument, though the classification covers only a Gallo-Roman inscribed stone set into the south wall of the chapel's chevet.
- No opening hours or admission fees have been provided for this site.
- The estate belongs to a wine producer, so a visit may focus more on the vineyard than on the château itself.
- The building suffered damage and fires before being bought in 2019, which may limit access to certain parts.
- The paintings Toulouse-Lautrec made here are not displayed on site but at the Toulouse-Lautrec museum in Albi.
