Once a mighty fortress, now remains perched on a rocky ridge, with a round keep as a silent witness. In 1369, Brosse was set on fire, but generations returned to save the stones and preserve the ruins.

All that remains of the medieval fortress today is the circular keep and its curtain wall from the 13th century and the towers either side.

Very beautiful ruins of the old Brush castle. The site is private but almost all of the ruins are visible from the outside. The site has been listed since 2003 for their architectural and landscape qualities.
