Medieval castle of the XIIth century dominating a valley, the interior traces its rich history, military garrison and prison in the XIXth century
This 12th-century medieval castle, modified in the 14th and 15th centuries, features a drawbridge, an underground prison and a well. The castle's history is recounted in the surrounding walls, as well as the ups and downs of various conflicts: English domination, reconquest by Gaston de Foix, during which the castle was ransacked and burned, and the Wars of Religion. Dismantled in 1642, it was partially rebuilt in 1648, then in the 19th century served as a military garrison and prison. Beautiful views over the valley. The tour includes audio tracks accessible via QR code. Wooden games for children.
