The Château de Termes, located near the village of Termes in the Aude département of France, is a historical site with a rich past. This ruined castle is one of the so-called Cathar castles, built on a promontory and defended on three sides by deep ravines. The ruins of the castle cover an area of 16,000 square metres, offering a glimpse into the past and the architectural prowess of the time.
In the 13th century, the Château de Termes was rebuilt as a royal garrison. It was one of the 'sons of Carcassonne', a term used to describe the five castles that defended the border with Aragon and later Spain. This strategic role further underscores the historical importance of the castle.
The Château de Termes is conveniently located a 15 to 20-minute walk from the village, making it easily accessible to visitors. The site offers impressive views of the Terminet Gorges, providing a scenic backdrop to the historical site. Visitors can enjoy both the historical significance and the natural beauty of the area.
