Château de Laxion stands in Corgnac-sur-l'Isle (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, second half of the 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Corgnac-sur-l'Isle, in the Dordogne, the château de Laxion stands with four wings linked by towers around an inner courtyard, built mainly in the 16th century. The square central tower, which once controlled the drawbridge, still dominates the main facade, while Renaissance-style dormer windows remain on the south side. The site carries the memory of the Chapt de Rastignac family, who owned it for several centuries and whose fates, marked by duels and tragedy, are still traceable in its history.
