Château du Châtelier

This castle was built in the 12th and 13th centuries during the wars between the Kingdom of England, which owned Aquitaine, and that of France. Located on a limestone rock 430 meters in circumference, it is surrounded by a deep ditch into which water could flow at will through canals, two of which still remain. It could be entered by means of two opposing drawbridges, one of which was for pedestrians. The most spectacular feature of this fortress is the beaked dungeon, built around 1180, where the lord lived. It is a huge cylindrical tower 25 meters high and 9 meters in diameter. It had five floors with a staircase in the thickness of the wall from the second floor. To the left of the keep is the bread oven and to the right the stables.

Very beautiful castle whose road runs along the moat... and its drawbridge

very nice tour
