Castle Carcassonne - 16 bedrooms - 900m²

13th century castle, between Toulouse and Perpignan.

COMPLETELY RESTORED!

Location: Located in the south of France in the heart of the green Aude, 15 minutes from the medieval bastide of Mirepoix, 45 minutes from the city of Carcassonne and Toulouse, we are in the French countryside, where calm and serenity emanate from the place.

Motorway access is 15 minutes away, TGV station and airports are 45 minutes away.

History: The Seigneurie de Plaigne was built in the 13th century by the Cathar lord Guillaume de Plaigne.

His last descendant, Anne de Plaigne, who married the Count of Pibrac in 1642, sold the castle to François Paul de Béon-Masse-Cazeaux, Grand Prior of the Order of Malta in Toulouse, who refounded it in 1688 as a commandery of the Order of Saint John.

It was the largest and most recent commandery in Languedoc.

It remained part of the Order of Malta's property until the Revolution.

The castle : the elegance of this place is surprising.

The park with its hundred year old trees gives off a softness and freshness.

The castle has retained the spirit of the fortress, as evidenced by the great Hall of the Knights.

However, it has been tastefully restored by two generations of owners.

The 12 double rooms in the castle and the 4 double rooms in the independent cottage offer a capacity of 32 people in absolute comfort with a swimming pool.

What we think: We see many exceptional properties.

This castle is a timeless place where one feels a great sense of well-being whilst remaining connected to a regional metropolis.
