Château de Bonaguil stands in Saint-Front-sur-Lémance (Lot-et-Garonne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 15th century). Adult admission costs 10 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Perched on a rocky spur above Saint-Front-sur-Lémance, Bonaguil castle spreads its towers and curtain walls over an irregular layout shaped by the rock itself. Begun in the 13th century around a circular keep, it was reworked over nearly thirty years by Bérenger de Roquefeuil, who adapted it to the early age of gunpowder artillery while keeping its medieval silhouette. Visitors find a massive barbican, several drawbridges, low-angle gun ports and a fortified complex of unusual scale for a site so well preserved.

What to know

  • The castle can be visited freely, with a guided tour or an audio guide depending on the day.
  • The adult admission fee is 10 euros.
  • The visit involves walking on sloped ground and climbing stairs, as the castle sits on a rocky spur.
  • It has been a listed historic monument since 1914, with the chapel separately protected since 1963.
