Penne
of Albigensian
The origin of Penne
date from the beginning of humanity, when groups of people
settled in the throats limestones of Aveyron.The Castle
was built during the XIII°,now it remains only ruins
which overhang the village with the old paved lanes,
bordered of stone-built houses.
Drawn up on its narrow rock piton, Penne dominates the surrounding
countryside and forests.
A castle was
erected during the Merovingian's time. About 1140,
Templars have properties in the chatellery of Penne.
Several of them reside then in the parish of Holy Marie-madeleine
of Albis (where the cave of the Madeleine of Albis
in 1952 was discovered), on right bank of Aveyron.
If nothing attests that the castle was a templar's
possession , it is certain the lords of this place
were close to the temple, because this fortress protected
the way going from the valley to Montricoux.
