From Wikipedia: "Puivert Castle was one of the Cathar castles in the early 13th century, but was completely rebuilt in the 14th century at its present location."

In 1210 the castle was besieged by a French general. The aim was to kill the Cathars living there. However, the then lord of the castle, Bernard de Congost, managed to flee unseen. He finally died in 1232 on Montségur.

Until 1279 there was a vast lake at the foot of the castle, but due to the lowering of the water level by the then lord of the castle, the lake has disappeared. Due to the work, a rock wall broke and several hamlets, including Mirepoix, located 30 km away, were washed away. Ancient Mirepoix was on the opposite bank from its present location.
