Description
During the war against the English, Fourcès was surrounded by a semi-circular enclosure, with a castle located in the northeast corner. After the end of the Hundred Years War, King Charles VII ordered the destruction of the castle. However, the latter and the other defenses were restored during the reign of Louis XI. This door, which was part of the castle, is made up of an elongated tower, with a vaulted passage at its base. There is still a piece of the courtyard adjoining the tower. Access to the floor is by a wooden staircase, which houses the town's clock. Above the exterior door arc, a little lamp ass once supported a statue. Outside, you can see a three -colored window and crows. Although the castle was from the 16th century, the door is older.
