Château de Caudon stands in Domme (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Perched above the Dordogne valley a few kilometres from the bastide town of Domme, the château de Caudon presents a rectangular main building flanked by two lower pavilions under slate roofs. Built in the early 19th century by a lawyer who helped draft the French Civil Code, it was later enlarged by his descendants, among them a senator who painted landscapes. The grounds combine the house with a park, an avenue of plane trees and boxwood gardens, and once served as a filming location for Ridley Scott's first feature.
