Château de Belvès

To make a day of it

Château de Belvès stands in Pays de Belvès (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century). Adult admission costs 8 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Belvès, in the Dordogne, this 16th century house still shows four pointed arches on its ground floor and carved mullioned windows, while a round tower stands on the other facade. Inside, wall paintings uncovered in 2010 depict the Nine Worthies, an ensemble unmatched elsewhere in Aquitaine. The guided tour takes in the tower, the great hall and the painted rooms, ending in a garden overlooking the Nauze valley.
