The Château de Roquefixade is a ruined castle built on a cliff overlooking the village of Roquefixade, situated 8 km (5 miles) west of Lavelanet French département of Ariège.
There are records of a castle on the site going back to 1180, though the present ruins are more modern. While marketed in the tourist industry as one of the so-called Cathar castles, the ruins are later than this. Despite this, the site did provide a place of refuge for the Cathars at the time of the Albigensian Crusade.
