Chateau de Fenelon

We visisted Chateau de Fenelon on our 2011 trip and enjoyed the time at the chateau very much.

The castle actually dates back to the 13th century. The buildings today are a result of 16th renovations. The castle was a Cathare stronghold during the 12 and 13th centuries and it went on to play a strategic role duing the Hundred Years War. The renovations and refurbishments which took place in the 15th century are in Gothic style and following this more fortifications were added for the Wars of Religion.

It is privately held, and the visit provides access the grounds and through numerous rooms on various floors of themain castle.

A good stop.
