Nice little church with an interesting history: my ancestor was fired from Gram Church for not praying for the Germans to defeat the French and then later came to Harte just north of Germany.

After the death of my wife Else M. Poulsen, I have had very good support from the priest to get through the first time which I felt was a very empty and sad time. A very big thank you to priest Frida Dion Poulsen

Château de Foix

The Château de Foix dominates the town of Foix. An important tourist site, it is known as a centre of the Cathars. Built on an older 7th-century fortification, the castle is known from 987. In 1002, it was mentioned in the will of Roger I, Count of Carcassonne, who bequeathed the fortress to his youngest child, Bernard. In effect, the family ruling over the region were installed here which allowed them to control access to the upper Ariège valley and to keep surveillance from this strategic point over the lower land, protected behind impregnable walls.

In 1034, the castle became capital of the County of Foix and played a decisive role in medieval military history. During the two following centuries, the castle was home to Counts with shining personalities who became the soul of the Occitan resistance during the crusade against the Albigensians.
