About

La Motte de Juhègues (Jueges in Catalan) was a medieval castle in Romanesque style from the 10th century situated on the former hamlet of Juhègues, currently belonging to the municipality of Torreilles. It is located in the territory of the Salanque, in the historical and natural region of Roussillon in northern Catalonia, as well as in the current French department of the Pyrénées-Orientales. La Motte is only a few metres west of the Notre-Dame de Juhègues hermitage, to the northwest of the village, near the artisanal area. It is located on a plain to the right of Agly, near the old road of Claira.
