Origin and history

The Regional Centre for the History of the Resistance and Deportation of Castelnau-le-Lez is a monument located in the municipality of the same name, in the Occitan region. This place is dedicated specifically to the study and preservation of memory related to the French Resistance and Deportation during the Second World War. Although the exact period of its creation is not mentioned in available sources, its role is clearly focused on the transmission of this local and national history.

In the Occitanie region, as in other French territories, the Resistance played a crucial role during the occupation. Memory centres, such as Castelnau-le-Lez, document the actions of the resistors, clandestine networks, and the tragedies linked to deportation. These places also serve to educate future generations about the values of freedom and resistance to oppression.
