En un regard
Le château en bref
Piégut Tower is the circular keep of a former citadel, topped on each floor by a dome. The Mérimée database links it to a 13th-century citadel, captured twice by the English (in 1336 and 1426), surrounded by ramparts in the 16th century, where Coligny stayed in 1569, and already in ruins long before the Revolution. The tourist office says it was built in the 12th century on a castral motte and gives a height of about 23 metres, with part of the enclosure preserved; the two sources therefore disagree on the century of construction. Listed as a Monument Historique by order of 3 October 1946, it is privately owned, and according to the tourist office it is open to the public free of charge.
