Château de Lapleau stands in Lapleau (Corrèze), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 17th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Lapleau Castle is a noble residence built from 1663 onwards in the village centre. Constructed in stone with slate roofing, it retains its original layout, augmented in the 19th century by a western pavilion. Inside, a central stone staircase organizes the upper floor symmetrically.

What to know

The facades and roofs have been listed as a historic monument since 1975.
A building predating 1663 survives in part: a tower to the east, the ground floor of the current pavilion, and a cellar beneath the main residence.
The western pavilion dates from 1850 to 1860 and is the only major alteration to the 17th-century structure.
