Saint-Julien-du-Tournel - Château du Tournel

The Château du Tournel once was the seat of the Barons of Tournelis. The castle was erected in the 13th century on a rocky outcrop overlooking the valley of the Lot.

The site was reputed to be impenetrable, but during the Wars of Religion it was taken by the Huguenot troops under infamous Matthieu Merle.

Since then it is in ruins.
