A nice church in a very special place. High up and in the middle of the village. Unfortunately not open for visits inside but a well maintained cemetery is well worth a visit. Cultural heritage in all its glory.

Nice place?

Just visited a cemetery that has belonged to the family. Unfortunately, all the roses that adorned the tomb have disappeared and it seems abandoned. Lives in Malmö and visits the grave a few times a year.

Château de Foix

The Château de Foix dominates the town of Foix. An important tourist site, it is known as a centre of the Cathars. Built on an older 7th-century fortification, the castle is known from 987. In 1002, it was mentioned in the will of Roger I, Count of Carcassonne, who bequeathed the fortress to his youngest child, Bernard. In effect, the family ruling over the region were installed here which allowed them to control access to the upper Ariège valley and to keep surveillance from this strategic point over the lower land, protected behind impregnable walls.

In 1034, the castle became capital of the County of Foix and played a decisive role in medieval military history. During the two following centuries, the castle was home to Counts with shining personalities who became the soul of the Occitan resistance during the crusade against the Albigensians.
