Castella de Saint-Sulpice, Medieval fortress in Saint-Sulpice-la-Pointe, France
The Castella features a 142-meter underground tunnel, brick structure remains, and a lordly chapel decorated with Gothic architectural elements.
Built around 1240 by Lord Sicard Alaman, the castle was destroyed in 1562 by Huguenot soldiers during the French Wars of Religion.
The underground passages host medieval music performances where troubadours perform Occitan compositions on period instruments.
Guided tours of the underground network operate year-round, allowing visitors to explore the largest subterranean structure in the Tarn department.
During the 1400s, Jeanne II of Boulogne used the castle tunnels to mint counterfeit coins, earning her the nickname Jeanne the Counterfeiter.
