Found A Secret Room! – Fully Intact Abandoned 12th-Century CASTLE in France
Fully Intact Abandoned 12th-Century CASTLE in France
𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲
Tucked away in a rural mountainous area in France, lies a historic listed building now gloomily left to the mercy of nature.
Originally the residence of a French commander, the building was founded in the year 1250 when it was built around a pre-existing Romanesque church. It was then organized as a stronghold on a square plan, around a closed courtyard.
A century later, the buildings were devolved to a Catholic military order.
During the religious wars between the Calvinists and the Catholic league in the late 16th century, the estate got ruined. It was only in the early 18th century that the barns, castle and the church underwent restoration works, after which the castle and its domain were sold as national property.
In 1883, the western main building was redesigned, and this covered gallery against the facade was constructed, overlooking the courtyard. What makes this place so precious, is that it is the only commandery to have kept its interior fittings.
Stepping into each room feels like you have traveled centuries back in time, as everything sits magically crystallized in time.
Immerse yourself into a piece of truly preserved French history, as we visit and document this majestic desolate castle today.
