In Saint-Geniez-ô-Merle, in the Corrèze department, the tours de Merle form a medieval castrum, a cluster of fortified houses built between the 12th and 16th centuries on a rocky spur above the valley. What makes the site remarkable is its layout: several noble families had their fortified dwellings erected side by side, creating a joint lordship unusual for its time. The ensemble is protected as a listed historic monument, standing as a rare example of shared feudal power.
