Château de Lascoux stands in Celles (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. No visits are on record for this building.
The château de Lascoux, also called château de Celles, stands in the centre of the village of Celles in the Dordogne, close to the Saint-Pierre church. Built in the 14th century by the Montardy family, it was rebuilt in the 16th century under the Pontbriand family and later altered several times up to the 20th century, leaving few traces of its Renaissance appearance. The building is linked to the memory of Armand de Foucauld de Pontbriand, born there in 1751, who died a martyr during the Carmes massacre in 1792.
