Didactic museum to discover the history of the Cathars, with an exhibition tracing a religious and tragic page of the Occitan Middle Ages

This educational museum is a veritable hub for the discovery of Cathar history. By wandering through its spaces, visitors will gain a clearer idea of the human dimension of the Cathar faith. On the first floor, Admiral Fuzier's home, whose two salons reflect the lifestyle of the 19th-century Protestant haute bourgeoisie, is open to visitors free of charge. On the second floor, a 300 m² exhibition retraces a religious and tragic page of the Occitan Middle Ages, based in particular on the traces left in the village of Hautpoul.

Une majorité de photo dans ce musée.
Un plus pour les maquettes des châteaux au rez-de-chaussée.

The one and only museum about the Albigeois crusade and the cathar "heresy", in reality a nice depiction of this more open minded, primitive Christian movement of the 11th century in the middle age and the influence it has on monastery life, relationship betweem church and lay people and on the creation of the inquisition and the Dominican order. Sadly the bons hommes and bonnes femmes are not here anymore to share their culture and faith.
