Château du Roi
CAHORS , Lot – Cultural heritage
About
This former prison is the former Via palace. This palace, built in the 14th century by Pierre Via, the brother-in-law of Pope John XXII (born in Cahors), was refurbished in the 17th century and became a prison in 1790. With over 200 years of history as a departmental prison, it is the oldest prison in France. In 2006, it still housed around sixty inmates. It closed its doors in July 2012. One of its chimneys, dating from the 14th century and now removed, was once used as a lighthouse to show boatmen the location of Cahors harbour. This monument cannot be visited.
