Château des archevêques de Narbonne stands in Capestang (Hérault), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In Capestang, in the Hérault department, the former fortified residence of the archbishops of Narbonne still overlooks the village square, with its buttresses and machicolated arches. Inside, a great hall from the 14th century houses wall paintings dating from 1310-1340 and a painted ceiling added a century later. Over time, farm buildings were attached to this medieval core, forming a large complex now under listed protection.
