Domaine de Castries stands in Castries (Hérault), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 16th century, third quarter of the 17th century, 19th century).

The Castries estate lies on the edge of Montpellier, centred on a seventeenth-century château raised over the remains of a medieval fortress torn down in 1622. Visitors come mainly for the grounds, laid out in the classical French style, and for the aqueduct that once carried water across the countryside to feed the gardens. Long linked to the Académie française, the property now belongs to the town.
