Château de Morthemer

Château de Morthemer rises above the village of Morthemer in Valdivienne community. The castle dates originally from the 12th century, but the imposing keep was built in the 14th century. There are two parts: the massive keep with its four corner towers and the small castle at its feet next to the church of Notre-Dame. The whole was then restored around 1865 by Emile Boeswillwald, collaborator of Viollet-le-Duc, at the request of the baron de Soubeyran. In particular, he gave the keep its defensive aspect by arranging the covered way at its top and by taking over the windows.
