Overlooking the valley, the castles of Bruniquel celebrate the eponymous village, ranked among the most beautiful villages in France. There are two of them: a «old castle» dating back to the thirteenth century and a «young castle» built in the fifteenth century, following family rivalries. However, it is the young castle that will be abandoned until it is listed as a historic monument in the nineteenth century. Since then, guided tours are being organized from March to November to discover the history of these two buildings, which have meanwhile served as the backdrop to Robert Enrico's old rifle.

Tariff: € 3,50 for the free visit, 4.50 € for guided tour.

The castle, built in the th century, was later, a royal garrison, but today remains only a few ruins under study. The parish church, built in the th century, is well preserved. Beautiful Gothic style book inside a stone museum and a table of Gamelin. It should also host exhibitions as of 2017. The establishment of a medieval garden is also planned this year, in the green area bordering it. Visitors can discover ancient vegetables and medicinal plants used in the Middle Ages. Cabrespine enjoys an exceptional dynamic, by the municipality that restores, develops and enhances the village, its heritage and its history. Water is thus ubiquitous in Cabrespine: ancient wash, watering, fountain recalls the essential role of water that would spread the giant gulf of the village (see the "Enlarge" section), known across borders. The narrow and picturesque streets are clean and flowery. These highlights add to the charm of this typical village of the Black Mountain. Looking at the environment, the municipality plans for 2017 the installation of two electric terminals that will be located on the parking lot of the abyss.
