The Tourbillon castle was built in 1294 and was destroyed twice -- the first time in the 15th century, but it was then restored and a chapel was added. In 1788, a fire swept through the castle and today it lays in ruin.

Are you sure this person is walking toward The Castle, it looks like going away and down the hill to me?
This is good to see some photos of Europe, rather than The Middle East, for a change. I've always wanted to go to Europe, and maybe I will someday, but for now it's photos and video to get me there.
So much history and influence.
