Magical stay with Anja as caring host. The location is nothing less than fairytale like. The rooms were of very high quality and tastefully restored with respect to the old buildings. The area was fantastic with a feeling of serenity. An experience beyond our expectations. We will definitely come back.

Just excellent. I literally have never felt so cared for and well taken care of as I have staying at Kultur Gut Hasselburg. Brigitte and her crew made me feel like a princess, very special. I would go back in a heartbeat and definitely recommend it to anyone who likes beautiful, comfortable, stylish, cultural, upbeat, and charming get-a-ways.

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.
