Château de Jumilhac stands in Jumilhac-le-Grand (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century, 17th century). Adult admission costs 15 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Overlooking the confluence of the Isle and the Ruchalait stream, Jumilhac castle stands in the Périgord Vert region, right in the village of Jumilhac-le-Grand. Built from the 15th century onward and later extended with two wings under Louis XIV, it features slate roofs topped with ridge ornaments carrying alchemical and heraldic motifs, one of the site's distinctive features. Still lived in by the descendants of the family that has owned it since the 16th century, it retains its recreated French-style gardens and is partly open to visitors.
