Baronnie de Saint-Cassien
Description
The barony of Saint-Cassien and its majestic keep have survived 10 centuries to reach us. The first square tower was built by Foulques Néra, Count of Anjou, at the same time as those of Loudun and Moncontour in the 11th century, then modified in the 12th and 14th centuries during the Hundred Years War. Richelieu had the fortress dismantled in the 17th century to establish royal power
A visit for the lovers of old stones and a beautiful example of medieval military architecture!
