The Château de Luynes was originally a fortress, built both to dominate the town and to protect it against attack. That is, to extort taxes from the locals and to prevent others from stealing the proceeds. It made the family of Albert (Ducs de Luynes) rich, famous, influential and powerful, to the extent that they are still living there, in considerable luxury, to this day - revolution or no revolution.
