Château de Gageac stands in Gageac-et-Rouillac (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Overlooking the Dordogne valley near Gageac-et-Rouillac, this fortified castle dates from the 15th century and stands amid the vineyards of the southern Bergerac region. Its square keep, older than the surrounding buildings, recalls the site's original role as an outpost of the duchy of Duras. Later centuries added a tower, dry moats and a main residence reshaped during the 19th-century romantic period. The property remains privately owned by the same family.
