Set on a promontory above the Isle valley, Abzac castle was built around 1660 on the site of a medieval fortified house razed by the English during the Hundred Years' War. Its long rectangular main building, flanked by pavilions under Périgord-style roofs, is arranged around a courtyard closed off by an ornamental gate. The estate has remained linked since the 17th century to the mill standing below on the Isle, now home to a cardboard manufacturing company.
