Discover exclusively this medieval property located in the two-thousand-year-old city of Carcassonne, at the foot of the Comtal Castle! Spanning nearly 335m2, it includes 10 rooms, with several living rooms and bedrooms featuring high ceilings. Within this building, you will find marble fireplaces, Neo-Gothic style carved wooden fireplaces, and most notably, at its heart, an unexpected interior garden of about 200m2 with complete privacy. This family home, passed down through several generations, is truly one of a kind. Step through the doors of the former House of the Inquisition, a legendary building whose 13th-century foundations have stood the test of time. Within its ancient stone walls, you will discover a structure largely remodeled in the 17th century but still retaining rooms and spaces where history is still written on the walls. Mullioned windows, arrow slits, a mysterious underground gallery, and bricked-up passages connecting to the old episcopal palace bear witness to its past. Last renovated in the early 20th century by a passionate antique dealer to restore its medieval appearance: Own more than just an address: become the guardian of a fragment of the medieval city of Carcassonne, a UNESCO World Heritage site. A unique opportunity for history and heritage enthusiasts. An art and decoration shop currently occupies the ground floor space until the end of November. After that, the property will be free of any occupation, allowing future owners to fully restore the building, whether for a primary residence, a secondary home, or the establishment of prestigious guest rooms. - Roof and covering completely redone 20 years ago. - Renovation and rehabilitation estimates available upon request.
