Once a mighty fortress, now remains perched on a rocky ridge, with a round keep as a silent witness. In 1369, Brosse was set on fire, but generations returned to save the stones and preserve the ruins.

Located on a small height which offers a very extensive view of the valley, the castle is made up of two buildings at right angles with several turrets. With the exception of a few buttresses, the traces of fortifications still visible at the beginning of the 17th century have now disappeared.

A very interesting castle. It is privately owned but can be rented for events. It was the setting for the Channel 4 show Escape the Castle. Legend has it that the last wolf in the area was shot from a window of the castle. For more information on the château check: https://thechateau.tv/

All that remains of the medieval fortress today is the circular keep and its curtain wall from the 13th century and the towers either side.
