Nice museum with interesting exhibits, upstairs is always under construction and is never looking to be finished at any time. The cafe has shrunk and had not alot on offer like it once had.

Great museum focussing on the Swedish middle ages (post Viking age) of the city. It tells stories regarding life in Lödöse specifically and middle ages in general. When close by a visit is recommended!

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.
