It was built on a site originally settle by the Romans and an old Roman floor lies below the floors of the old castle.
It's past is heavily associated with the Cathars a religious sect that was wiped out by the Catholic Church in the 1200's as being heretical which I guess they were since Cathar comes from the Greek meaning "good men" and even then the Church's representatives were often the bad men. It was completely restored in the mid 1800's and is quite beautiful!
