The tower must be only decorative then and it's probably the limestone crumbling from the corbels. Wet weather is not the friend of limestone, but as I see from the history the place was bought at some stage by a new owner and given to his mistress. Nothing like a fine new upstanding tower to impress a mistress.... Douglas ----- Original Message ----- I suspect that is a later addition to the original C11th building, much of it is C18th ;-) The Ch?teau-Abbaye de Cassan near Roujan... john -----Original Message----- The vines are certainly performing, John. Is the castle degraded by time and the elements, or an attack some time ago?
