The Castle

Lourdes’ fortified castle was built on a rocky peak dominating the town and the gateway to the 7 Lavedan’s valleys. The castle was successively a military fortress - taken by Charlemagne in 778 (legend), a state prison, the residence of the counts of Bigorre in the 16C and 17C, and has undergone numerous transformations with the passing years : donjon from the 14C, drawbridge restored in the 19C...

However it has been an important military post and remarkable witness to the evolution of fortresses in the Pyrenean Piedmont, from the Middle Ages to our time.
