The Château de Vendres is a ruined castle in the commune of Vendres in the Hérault département of France.[1]
The castle dates from the 13th century. The remains consist of a gatehouse and curtain wall, and remnants of the ramparts.[1] It is thought that stones used in its construction were salvaged from ancient Roman structures, including the Temple of Venus.[2]
The castle is privately owned. It has been listed since 1926 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.[1]
