The oldest and one of the greatest castles of Cathar country, with medieval reconstructions and guided tours of the treasure trove

Château de Saissac is the oldest and one of the largest castles in Cathar country. In fact, excavations have shown that it dates back to the year 900. Visible from the road, the castle is visited and experienced on a daily basis: in local festivals, medieval re-enactments or guided tours around the "treasure". Indeed, 2,000 royal denarii found in 1979 and stamped with the seal of Saint Louis add to the museographical and historical interest of the site, making it a veritable treasure trove, both literally and figuratively.

Un château cathare moins prestigieux que les plus connus mais qui a aussi son histoire. Une superbe vue sur le chateau, l'église et au loin les Pyrénées depuis l'entrée du village et quelques restes de fortifications.

Visité en dehors de la haute saison, le château perd beaucoup de son intérêt. L'exposition sur la monnaie est intéressante. Gros point noir l'accessibilité. Peu d'indications pour identifier le parking du château. Ensuite vous vous engagez sur les petites routes du village à vos risques et périls.

très bonne expérience dans un lieu authentique et bien restauré, avec des rajouts (petits musées) pour mieux comprendre l'histoire et le contexte. Tout ça pour un prix de 13€ à 3.
