Of the 129 castles we list in Hérault, these 48 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 48 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Renaissance, spread across 43 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Ancien prieuré dit " château " de Cassan (open to visitors), Hôtel de Landes de Saint-Palais (a listed historic monument), Château de Margon (Hérault) (252 reviews), Aqueduc alimentant le château (free entry) and Château des évêques de Montpellier (open to visitors).

12 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 11 and the prices of 6 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 16 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Renaissance, with 48 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
