    Château de Valmy Argelès
    Photo: Mairie Argelès-sur-Mer
Ce monument a été édifié à la fin du 19e au milieu du domaine viticole du mas de Vallmaria dont il tire sans doute son nom. Il est l'oeuvre de l'architecte danois Viggo Dorp-Petersen dont les réalisations étaient très appréciées des riches familles roussillonnaises. Le chantier fut ouvert en 1888 sur l'initiative de l'industriel Pierre Bardou, propriétaire des usines de papier à cigarettes JOB. Le château fut achevé dans les années 1900 et a toujours gardé son aspect initial. Valmy acquit une très grande renommée lorsque le gendre de Pierre Bardou, Jules Pams, devint propriétaire des lieux. Il y reçut tous les plus grands personnages du début du siècle, dont le Maréchal Joffre.
