Chateau Saissac
This fine castle in the Black Mountains dates back
to about 960 when it was given to the Count of Carcasonne by the Bishop
of Toulouse.
 In 1209 the Lords of Saissac capitulated to the
crusaders.
 The castle fell into disuse in the 18th century and
is currently maintained the local
authority.
