Bonaguil Castle in France

The castle was built in the 13th century and was further expanded at the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th century by Baron Bérenger de Roquefeuil.

This Bérenger came from a powerful family from the Languedoc. He was also Baron of different areas and Count of Naut. He decided to convert the ruin into a fortified fortress. It took 40 years to build a double ring of walls around the castle with six high towers.

In the 18th century, the castle came into the hands of Marguerite de Fumel, who rebuilt it into a more habitable castle. One hundred years later, after the French revolution, it was sold to the municipality of Fumel.

One of the most impressive castles, Bonaguil is a good example of medieval architecture.
