Origin and history

This building, located in Carcassonne in the Occitanie region, dates from the first half of the seventeenth century. It is distinguished by its history linked to influential personalities of the time, especially as an episcopal residence in the Lower Town. The house belonged in 1660 to Mr.Roux de Montbel, trustee general of the province of Languedoc, and was then used as a dwelling for the bishop of Carcassonne, Monsignor of Grignan.

The building marked local history by welcoming King Louis XIV twice, in January and April 1660. This fact underlines its importance in the urban and political landscape of Carcassonne at this time. The monumental gate on street, including its vantals, was classified by decree of 26 March 1926, testifying to its heritage value.

Today, the building is owned by the municipality of Carcassonne. Although its current use (visit, rental, accommodation) is not specified in the available sources, its location at 65 rue de Verdun and its status as a historical monument make it an important part of the city's architectural heritage. The accuracy of its location is estimated as fair (level 5/10), according to available data.
