dollyspit: (via medievallove) Carbonnières tower ruins, Goulles, France. Legend says, this village was infested with leprosy until a mysterious young maiden arrived. Lord Bertrand, owner of the castle fell in love with her and married her. She could cure everything and villagers started to believe she had made a pact with the devil. So they killed her as a witch. Lord Bertrand was so sad that he locked himself up in these towers and was never heard of again. The villagers slowly started to leave the village and that is how the castle was left to decay. 11th c. (by Gérard d’Alboy on Flickr.)
