Château de Lauzun stands in Lauzun (Lot-et-Garonne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 2nd century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Lauzun, in the Lot-et-Garonne department, this château combines the remains of a medieval fortress with a Renaissance residence built around 1539 for the Lauzun family. The facade stands out for its main doorway, framed by marble columns with Corinthian capitals and topped with the family's coat of arms, as well as for a 17th-century pavilion crowned with a keel-shaped roof known as the Dôme. Visitors can also see the remnants of the 13th-century keep, two classified monumental fireplaces, and, in the grounds, a Roman votive altar dating from the 2nd century.

What to know

  • The château is both classified and listed as a historic monument, with protections staggered from 1923 to 2017.
  • No verified opening hours or admission prices are available for planning a visit.
  • The building combines several construction periods, from the 13th to the 18th century, so a visit benefits from time to take in these layers.
  • The Roman votive altar stands in the grounds, separate from the main residence.
