The Château de Turenne is a majestic historical site located in the Corrèze department, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Nestled on a hill overlooking the picturesque village of Turenne, this medieval castle offers an exceptional panorama of the surrounding valley and is steeped in a rich history.

Points of Interest of the Château de Turenne:
History and Heritage:

Medieval Fortress: Built in the 11th century, the Château de Turenne was the residence of the powerful Viscounts of Turenne, who reigned over a vast independent territory for more than ten centuries. Their influence was so great that they did not depend directly on the King of France, a rarity at the time.
Impressive Remains: Although partially in ruins after its dismantling in the 18th century, the castle retains fascinating elements, such as its circular keep and its Caesar tower, emblematic of its defensive past.
