Château de Coustaussa stands in Coustaussa (Aude), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, 13th century, 16th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

On the commune of Coustaussa, in the Aude department, the ruins of a 12th-century hilltop castle stand above the Sals valley. Traces remain of a double defensive wall, square towers and a round turret, remnants of a history shaped by the Albigensian Crusade and a slow dismantling in the 19th century. This is an open-air ruin, with no particular visitor facilities.
