Chateau de Montsegur, Montsegur, Ariege, France
Chateau de Montsegur, originally a 13th century Cathar castle, but rebuilt over the next 3 centuries after its capture and destruction in 1244, near Montsegur, in Ariege, Midi-Pyrenees, France. The castle sits at 1200m atop a hill known as a pog in Occitan. The original castle fell in 1244 after a 9-month siege led by Hugues de Arcis, although some cathars escaped with the castle's treasure, said by some to be the Holy Grail itself. It is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
