Château de Caux et Sauzens

The Castle of Caux and Sauzens 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 Castle of Caux and Sauzens, built at the end of the 12th century, is closely linked to the destiny of a great 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 Sauzens estate since well before the Revolution.
