Lecture éditoriale
The record is a military history: an English or French possession on the edge of Aquitaine, dismantled in 1430, rebuilt and fortified after Michel de Peyronenc fought at Castillon in 1453 and brought back the Holy Thorn still kept in the chapel, refortified again in the Wars of Religion with new walls and four drawbridges, and given a gun platform in the seventeenth century. The 1991 classification covers the façades, the double enceinte and the chapel of about 1539 with its painted vault, the postern and drawbridge, the underground rooms and the ground of the court. The clipped yews on the lawn within the ramparts are documented by the photograph rather than by the record.
