Facades and roofs (Case B 949): inscription by order of 20 September 1972

Origin and history

The castle of Perdiguier, located in Maraussan in the Hérault, has its origins in the last quarter of the 13th century. This monument, originally conceived as a medieval castle, has undergone major transformations over the centuries, especially in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. These successive changes have profoundly altered its original appearance, reflecting architectural developments and the needs of its occupants throughout the eras.

Ranked as a Historic Monument, Perdiguier Castle has been partially protected since 1972, specifically covering its facades and roofs. This official recognition underscores its heritage importance, although available sources do not specify the details of its historical use or ownership. The exact address, 5376 Domaine de Perdiguier, and its Insee code (34148) confirm its anchoring in the commune of Maraussan, Occitanie.

The location of the castle is estimated with an accuracy deemed "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), but no additional information is provided on its current accessibility, whether it be visits, rentals or accommodation. Available data, mainly from the Merimée database and Monumentum, remain limited to architectural and administrative aspects, without mentioning any specific anecdotes or historical events related to the site.
