Views Of Medieval Agricultural Landscape Of Montady (Herault)

The Etang de Montady (Montady's marsh) was built by monks and wealthy Béziers landowners during the second half of the 13th century after a 1247 authorization by the Archbishop of Narbonne. The exact dates when the work began or ended are not clear, but the landscape as it exists today was completed by 1268. The Étang de Montady was drained to provide much-needed farmland. This agricultural landscape exists today and can be seen from the Oppidum d'Ensérune, a nearby hill and historic settlement. Montady. Herault, France. August 25th 2021.
