    Beautiful village
    Viewpoint
    But entry for the castle isn't free

      September 7, 2024

      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.

        A Picturesque Village:

        Turenne, one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France: The castle dominates the village of Turenne, classified among the “Most Beautiful Villages in France”. Its cobbled streets, stone houses, slate roofs and charming little squares recall the authenticity and medieval architecture.
