Château de Canet-en-Roussillon was the castle of viscounts mentioned first time in the mid-11th century. Some parts of the original castle still remains, like the St. Martin's chapel.
The castle has been remodelled several times and it was finally abandoned after the French Revolution (it was then used as a stone quarry).
