About
The Château de Beaucaire (Provençal: Castèu de Bèucaire) is a ruined medieval castle in the commune of Beaucaire in the Gard département of France. First built by the Counts of Toulouse, the castle served as an important point in the Albigensian Crusade and was torn down on Richelieu's orders in the 16th century. The castle is owned by the commune and is open to the public, and has been listed since 1862 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
