View on the castle

Highlight • Castle

The view of Castelnou Castle, perched on a hill in the heart of the Aspres, is breathtaking. Dominating the medieval village below, this 10th century castle stands proudly in a landscape of vineyards, forests and mountains. From the surrounding trails, the panorama offers a grandiose spectacle with the Pyrenees as a backdrop.

Santa Maria Church

Highlight • Other

The stones from the former local quarries were used for the church.
The church was first mentioned in 1259. This is probably also the period of construction which is assumed. Due to the simple construction, it is further assumed that the church was built by the villagers themselves. The main altar inside is worth seeing and dates from the early 18th century. In the adjoining cemetery surrounding the church you can see very old graves of the village community of Castelnou.
