Medieval castle of the XIIth century dominating a valley, the interior traces its rich history, military garrison and prison in the XIXth century

A medieval castle from the 12th century, modified in the 14th and 15th centuries, it features a drawbridge, an underground prison, a well... In the grounds, you can retrace its history and the adventures it experienced during various conflicts: English domination; reconquest by Gaston de Foix, during which it was ransacked and burned; Wars of Religion. Dismantled in 1642, it was partially rebuilt in 1648, then in the 19th century served as a military garrison and prison. Beautiful views over the valley. The tour is enhanced by audio tracks accessible via QRcode. Wooden games for children.

Par le chemin de randonnée, ballade dans la ville et au-dessus. Très agréable et beau point de vue.

Tant qu'à visiter le château fort de Mauléon, essayer d'y être durant les Fêtes médiévales, en juin. Elles se tiennent au château, avec scènes d'époque et toutes les explications historiques. A la fois c'est très intéressant et ça se passe dans une ambiance joyeuse.

Obviously, it is not Carcassonne, but: a castle with character, with beautiful views of the city and the region.
