Welcome to Castelnaud Castle
Built on a rocky outcrop in the heart of the Périgord Noir, 9km from Sarlat, Castelnaud Castle offers a magnificent panoramic view over the Dordogne Valley. Built in the 12th century, it is a perfect example of a medieval fortress. Today, the castle houses a large collection of weapons and armour. Along the bastion, the most powerful siege engines from the Middle Ages have been recreated and placed in attack positions.
Today, the castle is open from
