Château d'Auberoche stands in Fanlac (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Built in the 14th century at Fanlac in Dordogne, Auberoche Castle retains its curtain wall flanked by round towers. Seventeenth-century buildings arranged in wings frame the interior courtyard, where a central residential block rises above terraced gardens. The central building's pilastered doorways and interior staircase with ribbed vaults reflect the classical taste that shaped this medieval site.

What to know

Only the building facades, roofing, and courtyard garden with terraces have been registered as historical monuments since 1962.
The structure of the round towers reflects the significance of 14th-century fortification, though the site underwent major transformation in the 17th century.
Access and visiting conditions are not publicly documented.
