Come admire the ruins of the old church from the 14th and 15th centuries. The building has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1969.

A great unusual place! A castle in ruins, of which only the towers remain standing there, on their promontory. It is simply captivating. Shows are offered for the youngest and an explanatory visit is strongly recommended to fully understand the history of the site.

The Merle Towers are a group of fortified houses forming a castrum dating from the 12th and 16th centuries, standing in the French commune of Saint-Geniez-ô-Merle. A superb place to see in Corrèze.
