The Étang de Montady is a drained pond or lagoon, or more accurately a former freshwater wetland, located near Montady and Colombiers, midway between Béziers and Narbonne in the western department of Hérault in southern France.
Popularly believed to have been "constructed by the Visigoths", the Étang de Montady was in fact 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.
