The Château des Ducs de Joyeuse is a castle in the commune of Couiza in the Aude département of France. [1]
Originally built for the Dukes of Joyeuse in the mid-16th century, the castle is now used as a hotel. [2] The well-preserved building, flanked by round towers, is regarded as typical of many buildings in the Languedoc and Cévennes regions. A pitted rustic work doorway leads to the austere Renaissance courtyard. [3] The chapel is dated to the François 1er period, the rest of the castle is in the Henri II style. Every room of the house contains a French-style ceiling. [1]
It has been listed since 1913 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture. [1]
