Château de Libouriac stands in Béziers (Hérault), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
On the road to Pézenas, in Béziers, the château de Libouriac is one of the large wine estates built in the Biterrois region in the late 19th century. Constructed between 1883 and 1885 by architect Louis Garros for Abel Gaujal and his wife Marie Lagarrigue, it combines neo-Gothic and neo-Renaissance references in an eclectic ensemble. Notable features include the interior hall with its upper gallery and staircase lit by a stained glass window decorated with flowers and birds, as well as the octagonal chapel standing apart to the southwest. The park, laid out by Denis and Eugène Bühler, slopes gently down toward the Libron valley.
