Château de Lafage stands in Lafage (Aude), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century). No visits are on record for this building.

In Lafage, in the Aude department, only a single corner turret remains of the 16th century château, the sole surviving trace of a complex that has otherwise disappeared. This round structure, built in a rather rudimentary fashion, stands out for its six rectangular gunports and its bretèche, evidence of its defensive purpose. Traces of the walls that once linked it to the main building can still be seen, along with the location of the former doorway at its base. The tower has lost its roof and cannot be entered, since there is no internal staircase.

What to know

  • Only a single turret remains of the château, which the local commune converted into a water tank.
  • The visit is limited to viewing the exterior, as the inside cannot be reached due to the absence of a staircase.
  • The turret has been listed as a historic monument since 1948.
  • The structure stands in the commune of Lafage, in the Aude department.
