Le château de la Roche-Pichemer (13ème et 16ème siècles).

Legend has it that a lady of Roche-Pichemer, Catherine-without-Pity, was a "mean lady". Among other misdeeds, she is accused of having tied together a man and an ox and, to see which one would survive the other, to let them die of hunger! She has been condemned for centuries to nocturnal races on a chariot of fire during the winter nights ...

A beautiful castle and well maintained grounds Christa. What a gruesome tale, - I hope there is no truth in it but the legends that surround some of these castles and grand buildings are quite fascinating. You wonder if they are told to frighten people and keep them off their property! A well composed image, - I link the chain across it, - nice effect.

Thanks Carol. I think legends are stories that have been made up with a background of truth. Perhaps here was really a mean lady and people invented it with the purpose to make the story more interesting or convincing, or to teach a lesson (like knowing right from wrong), or perhaps they really wanted a bad end for this lady!!
