A place to share cool castles!
Post images or any other content relating to castles, châteaux, palaces, towers, keeps, fortresses, and follies. The following content is encouraged but not required:
More than just images are welcome. Only real rule is that content must refer to a real-life structure, so please no fantasy/fictional castles! Reasonable exceptions include media showcasing period life and technology that somehow relates to castles.
The name of the castle translates to "Castle on the Crest".
The old castle (the ruin in the foreground) was probably built in the 14th century, though very little information about it is available. It was inhabited by local aristocrats up until the French Revolution when it was severely damaged. Instead of rebuilding the old castle, a new one was erected (in the background) in a pseudo-Renaissance style during the 19th century.
Stunning piece of land, would love to own this and do it all up to a proper good state again!
