Maison forte des Allinges

The Allinges fortified house stands on a plateau with a dry moat to the south and west, while natural slopes protect the north and east sides.

This fortified residence was built between 1355 and 1369 by Guillaume de Septème, later passing to the Lambert family and then to the Solignacs in 1561.

The keep and dovecote display crenellations on all four sides, demonstrating the noble status of this medieval French residence.

Archaeological excavations are conducted on the site from 2022 to 2024, with findings scheduled for public presentation starting in 2025.

The towers of the structure are connected by a curtain wall with a walkway, giving the building the appearance of a small medieval fortress.
