Gachepouy castle ruins
Originally built in the Middle Ages in the hamlet of Gachepouy, the castle was used to monitor the Auroue valley. The building was rebuilt from 1579 to 1585 by Anne d'Aydie, Baroness of Pordéac. The rectangular three-storey building was flanked by two square towers in the north-west and south-west corners. Raymond Salles, a master mason from Lavit , built a stair tower in 1601 for Catherine des Fontaines. During the First World War , the structure was still in good condition, but has since been neglected.
