Queribus Castle is a medieval fortress located in the picturesque village of Cucugnan, in the south of France. The castle is perched on a rocky outcrop at an altitude of 728 meters, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The castle dates back to the 11th century and was built by the Cathars, a religious sect that was persecuted by the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages.
The castle is surrounded by a double wall, with a moat and a drawbridge that once protected it from invaders. The main entrance is through a gatehouse that leads to a courtyard, where visitors can see the remains of the castle's chapel, the barracks, and the stables. The castle's keep, which is the tallest tower, offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
Inside the castle, visitors can explore the various rooms, including the great hall, the kitchen, and the living quarters. The castle's walls are adorned with beautiful frescoes and carvings, which provide a glimpse into the castle's rich history. Visitors can also see the castle's well, which was the main source of water for the castle's inhabitants.
Queribus Castle played an important role in the Cathar rebellion against the Catholic Church, and it was one of the last Cathar strongholds to fall to the French army in 1255. Today, the castle is a popular tourist attraction, and visitors can learn about the castle's history through guided tours and exhibits. The castle is also a popular spot for hiking and picnicking, with several trails leading to the castle from the surrounding villages.
