Château de Bellegarde stands in Lamonzie-Montastruc (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, first quarter of the 20th century). Adult admission costs 10 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Perched on a rocky spur overlooking the road to Bergerac and the meeting point of the Louyre and Caudeau rivers, Bellegarde castle retains only a few discreet traces of its medieval origins: blocked windows, a stair tower, vaulted cellars and a twin-arched opening. Most of what visitors see today dates from major renovation works carried out between 1910 and 1914 by architect Léon Drouyn, who reshaped the south and west facades. The landscaped park, designed by Gabriel Perdoux, opens onto views of the Caudeau valley and rounds out a visit to the grounds.
