The sumptuous Castle-abbey of Cassan rises from the midst of vineyards and olive groves, warranting the name of the little Versailles of Languedoc.
The origin of the Priory dates back to the 11th century, when a donation gave the church to some regular canons fleeing the then decadent cathedral chapter of Béziers.
Princely necropolis The Prieuré de Cassan is a beacon of spirituality in Languedoc. All those who lived in these places were all touched by the grace of the site, the religious fervor was continuous there. The care of the sick in the hospices, the appeasement of those who came to die in Cassan or to elect a burial there, the comfort of those who found there overnight accommodation and a hot meal on the way to Compostela founded the fame of the monastery.
Today the Priory is a setting for many events: exhibitions, concerts, classical music festival or thematic days
