John, had a look at its website and it's impressive. The tower must be only 
decorative then and it's probably the limestone crumbling from the corbels. 
Wet weather is not the friend of limestone, but as I see from the history 
the place was bought at some stage by a new owner and given to his mistress. 
Nothing like a fine new upstanding tower to impress a mistress....

I suspect that is a later addition to the original C11th building, much of 
it is C18th ;-) The Ch?teau-Abbaye de Cassan near Roujan...

The vines are certainly performing, John. Is the castle degraded by time and 
the elements, or an attack some time ago?
