Château de Commarque, France
Channel: Patrick Beckers
Date: 01/03/2023

The castle ruins of Commarque are well hidden in the woods of the Beune valley. The castle was built from the 12th century onwards on a large prehistoric rock containing 15,000 year-old cave drawings. At the beginning of the 18th century, the castle was finally abandoned and slowly became ruinous. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was even used as a stone quarry. Since 1972, the complex has been the property of Hubert de Commarque, a descendant of, who has been carrying out ongoing renovation since 1994. Since the year 2000, the site has been open to the public (the prehistoric cave, however, is not accessible).
