# Château de Fontirou

Castella, Lot-et-Garonne, Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Château de Fontirou stands in Castella (Lot-et-Garonne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

At the foot of the Colline de la Truffe, in the commune of Castella, the château de Fontirou stands as the remains of a 13th-century keep, the only surviving part of a fortified complex left abandoned since the early 19th century. A ring of round towers, hastily built during the Wars of Religion, once surrounded the keep along with service buildings that no longer exist. Protected as a historic monument, the site remains an unrestored ruin.

**Practical details not verified yet.** We know this château and where it is, but we have not yet checked its opening hours or prices at the source. We would rather tell you than display something we are unsure of.
