Origin and history

Castelpers Castle is a building located in the municipality of Jonquières in the Occitan region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. This type of monument, often linked to local history, could serve as a seigneurial residence, a place of defence or a symbol of power in the region.

In the medieval and modern Occitan context, castles played a central role in social and economic organization. They generally housed the local lords, while serving as a checkpoint for the surrounding lands. Rural populations often lived under their direct influence, with agricultural and craft activities structured around these buildings.
