Origin and history

Malavieille Castle is a building located in the commune of Mérifons, Occitanie region. The available data do not specify its period of construction or its detailed history, making it a still mysterious monument for local historians. In the general context of Occitanie, medieval or modern castles often served as seigneurial residences, defence sites or administrative centres.
