Château de Peyrepertuse by drone (Cathar Castle)

Peyrepertuse is at the top of a limestone cliff enjoying a grand panoramic view. At the time of the Albigensian crusade against the cathars (from 1209-1229) the castle was owned by Guillaume de Peyrepertuse. The castle was never actually besieged but was handed over to the crusade forces in 1217. It subsequently returned to the control of Guillaume de Peyrepertuse, who then refused to surrender to the crusaders so was excommunicated in 1224. The castle subsequently became the property of the French crown in 1240, after a revolt against the King and crusaders in Carcassonne had failed. Shortly after, in 1242, the castle was substantially reinforced and extended due to its position on the frontier with Aragon and Spain to the south. The lower part of the castle was built on a strategic location by the kings of Aragon in the 11th Century and the higher part by the French King Louis IX later on, after the area was annexed to France. The two castles are linked together by a staircase. The castle lost importance as a strategic castle when the border between France and Spain was moved in 1659, causing the castle to be abandoned. ______________________ This Channel has no financial or commercial gains.
