Château de Caussade, Castle in Trélissac, France
The polygonal fortress stands on a plateau overlooking the Isle Valley, adjacent to the Lanmary Forest with four projecting square towers and dry moats.
Built in the early 12th century under Guillaume de Calzado, the castle protected the strategic Limoges-Périgueux axis and changed ownership through multiple noble families.
The castle's library, documented in a 1760 inventory by Bishop Jean Louis de la Marthonie, contained literary works including those of dramatist Racine.
While the interior remains closed to visitors due to private ownership, people can explore the castle's exterior architecture through the 17-kilometer Caussade trail.
During World War I, this medieval fortress served as a detention center for German officers before becoming a gathering point for resistance fighters in World War II.
