View from the castle at Villerouge Termenes, Corbieres, Aude
Rather than a
castle on top of a hill, which seems the normal case in these parts,
the chateau at Villerouge Termenes, seems almost swallowed by the
village that surrounds it. However it is on a slight hill and was
built at the beginning of the 12th century.
Inside an informative
museum tells through the use of video and audio visual media the life
and death (by burning at the stake) of Guillaume Bélibaste
- the last Cathar parfait or priest to be martyred by the Catholic
church (1321), condemned by the then Archbishop of Narbonne - Bernard
de Farges.
