Detail InformationEdit

The Chateaux de Lastours are four so-called Cathar castles in the French commune of Lastours in the departement of l’Aude. The four castles are on a rocky spur above the village of Lastours, isolated by the deep valleys of the Orbeil and Gresilhou rivers. They were built at an altitude of 300 m along a rock wall just 1300 feet (-400 m) long by 165 feet (-50 m) wide.
Cabaret, Surdespine and la Tour Regine stand in line, while Quertinheux is built on a separate pinnacle close by. The site has been classified monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 1905 and archaeological digs are still in progress.These four castles constitute a single entity, even though they are not a single structure. The natural layout of the site permitted the economy of a fortress of great height. Plans were adapted to the rocks on which they were built. The construction of each is different reflecting the range of alterations made to the castles.
