Château des Anglais (Brengues)

The Château des Anglais (Brengues) is a ruined castle located in the commune of Brengues, in the Lot department of France. It is situated high on a cliff overlooking the Célé valley. The name translates to "Castle of the English," reflecting its association with the English during the Hundred Years' War.

The castle's construction is attributed to the local lords of Brengues, likely during the 12th and 13th centuries. Its strategic location made it a valuable defensive point in the region. During the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453), the castle changed hands multiple times between French and English forces, lending credence to its name.

The castle's ruins consist primarily of the remnants of its ramparts, towers, and residential buildings. The architecture demonstrates typical medieval defensive design, with a focus on utilizing the natural topography of the cliff for protection.

Currently, the Château des Anglais (Brengues) is a historical monument. While privately owned, it is visible from the surrounding area and accessible to the public, offering panoramic views of the Célé valley. Its history and location make it a notable landmark in the region.
