Château de Marqueyssac stands in Vézac (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 17th century). Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on August 9, 2026.

Perched above Vézac, the château de Marqueyssac overlooks the Dordogne valley from a plateau planted with hand-clipped centuries-old boxwood, mixed with cypress trees and cyclamens. Visitors come mainly for this garden, listed as a remarkable garden of France, which offers views toward the châteaux of Castelnaud and Beynac. The building itself, a 15th-century manor house with two wings and a stair tower, is seen along the way through the grounds.
