Châteaux d'Aujac, Aujac, France

Châteaux d'Aujac was built to symbolise the combined powers of the Anduze family and the Bishop Cheylard of Uzès, who lived there from the 12th century. From the square to the round tower, the Chateau and its village illustrate the development of castle construction from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. Still inhabited to this day, this magnificent architectural ensemble is a listed Historic Monument and represents a rare example of such conservation.

Magnificent view of the region. Heartwarming welcome. Guided tour at the top (of Morgane). A very welcoming owner and passionate young people around. A great team to bring this historic place to life in an authentic atmosphere. Good time !

Nice guided tour included in the price. Please note that there is no parking, a bit of a walk to get there.

Visit today: Warm young woman at the reception, accessible guide and unquestionable quality of her visit. Site not only interesting (because several "eras" follow one another), but also preserved and pleasant. Small refreshment bar, clearly we are trying to make you have a good time, because we must also talk about the very affordable prices both for the visit and for the refreshment bar (shop). There you go, the email for them! ??

A place to discover. Great projects in perspective, I hope they come to fruition. A visit by a lover of the place

This is a must see if you're in Aujac. It's a special Chateau with a nice host, it's still in the same family since the the revolution and still inhabited. Just make sure you look at the openings hours.

Duino Castle

Duino Castle was built by the Wallsee family in 1389 on the cliffs overlooking the Gulf of Trieste. It replaced an older castle from the 11th century. Over time, the Wallsee family disappeared and the castle, after having been used as a prison, became the residence of the Luogar and Hofer.

At the end of the 19th century it became the property of Prince Alexander von Thurn und Taxis from the Czech branch of the House of Thurn and Taxis. It remains with the family to this day with his great-grandson Prince Carlo Alessandro della Torre e Tasso, Duke of Castel Duino the current owner. The castle has been opened to the public as a museum and park.
