Welcome to Castelnaud Castle
Built on a rocky outcrop in the heart of the Périgord Noir, the Castelnaud Castle offers a magnificent panoramic view over the Dordogne Valley. Founded in the 12th century, it is a perfect example of a medieval fortress. Today, the castle houses an important collection of weapons and armour. Along the bastion, the most powerful siege machines from the Middle Ages have been recreated and placed in attack positions.
Today, the castle is open from
10:00 – 19:00
Last admission one hour before closing.
The visit of the castle and the animations are WITHOUT RESERVATION.
