Built on a rocky spur overlooking the confluence of the Aude and Lauquet rivers, the château de Couffoulens stands on a site fortified since the Middle Ages, remodelled in the early 18th century. A square medieval tower and sections of older walls survive, absorbed into the U-shaped building that gives the château its present appearance.
