Le Château - Castelnau de Lévis

Probably better seen in large

The Château de Castelnau-de-Lévis is a castle in the commune of Castelnau-de-Lévis in the Tarn département of France.
The castel was built in 1235 by Sicard Alamon, and called Castelnau de Bonnafous.
It was rebuilt by the Lévis in the fifteenth century, when the seigneurie came into the possession of Hugues d' Amboise, baron d'Aubijoux; the fief remained with his descendants until the seventeenth century.
Hugues' grandson, Louis d'Amboise, comte d'Aubijoux and baron de Castelnau-de Bonnafous, restored the castle and dwelt in it. The narrow square watchtower (tour de guet) is 40m tall.
Apart from the watchtower, all that remains today is remnants of other buildings. From the castle, there is a good view of Albi and the Tarn valley - you can see the Cathédrale de Sainte Cécile in Albi on the right of the photo.

There are fabulous views across the Tarn valley to the Pyrénées and to Les Gorges du Tarn.

Don't forget to cheer on Stade Toulousain Rugby against Connacht this evening!
I hope your Saturday is a good one.
