Château de Saint-Maurice stands in Saint-Maurice-Navacelles (Hérault), in the Occitanie region of France. No visits are on record for this building.
In the Hérault department, Saint-Maurice-Navacelles is home to a château that blends medieval fortifications with a dwelling reshaped across different eras. Historical records mention a fortress on this spot from 1280 onward, and traces of that era survive in a square keep's base along with fragments of a 14th-century substructure. Builders erected the current structure on the same foundations during the 16th century, then significantly reworked it in the 19th century. Today the château remains privately owned while holding a place on the historic monuments inventory.
