Château de La Devie stands in Montcuq-en-Quercy-Blanc (Lot), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 18th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The château de La Devie stands in the commune of Montcuq-en-Quercy-Blanc, in the Lot department, at the heart of a farming estate first recorded in the 15th century and reworked during the 18th and 19th centuries. Its enclosed courtyard, reached through a single passage beneath a pigeon tower pierced with loopholes, still reads as a defensive complex rather than a gentleman's residence. The eastern outbuildings retain medieval traces and underground passages cut into the rock, while the interior combines 18th-century doors with later 19th-century alterations.
