Château de Pieusse
The Château de Pieusse is one of the so-called Cathar castles in the French commune of Pieusse, near the town of Limoux in the département of l'Aude. It is a "true" Cathar castle in the sense that the site was never taken by the French crown during the annexation of Roussillon, but the buildings are mostly of more recent date.Photo: Pinpin, CC BY-SA 3.0.
