Château de Caux et Sauzens

The Caux and Sauzens Castles is located 5 kilometers west of Carcassonne on the banks of the Canal du Midi, both of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The history of the Caux and Sauzens Castles, built at the end of the 12th century, is closely linked to the history of a prominent Languedoc family, the Roger Cahuzac de Caux, who owned it until the mid-19th century. In 1871, the château was acquired by the Guitard family, who had been established on the lands of Sauzens long before the Revolution.
