Château de Castelnau-Bretenoux
The castle stands at the end of a rocky plateau forming a spur thanks to the presence of a natural fault. Dominating the so-called country of the four rivers, it was the seat of an important barony from the Carolingian aristocracy of Quercy of the Castelnau de Bretenoux family - already in possession of a fortified residence in the surrounding area in the 11th century. It was during the 14th and 15th century that the castle adopted its final configuration
