En un regard
Le château en bref
The feudal castle of Cuq (Tarn) is said to have been built in 1286 on a circular plan around an inner courtyard. A spiral staircase was added around 1450; a fire devastated it in 1568 during the Wars of Religion, after which it was rebuilt in the 17th century, with Richelieu ordering the reduction of its towers. It has five towers (two round, three square), the oldest being the western watchtower, along with Renaissance windows with mullions and arrow slits, as well as a Gothic-style doorway in the courtyard. Labelled by the Fondation du patrimoine in 2024, it suffered a roof fire in April 2024 and is undergoing restoration by its owners.
