Château de Mauriac stands in Douzillac (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Mauriac Castle, built in the 15th century in Dordogne, retains the character of a medieval fortress. Two massive round towers equipped with machicolations flank a rectangular main building. Some of its fortifications have been lost over time, including a square tower, the curtain wall and its keep, but the castle preserves part of the covered wall walk on its western face.

What to know

  • The castle rests in part on 12th-century structures that predate the 15th-century reconstruction.
  • The building listed as a historical monument includes the gatehouse, curtain wall, outbuildings and grounds.
  • Visitors should check access conditions with the local town hall or owner, as the castle is not managed as a regularly open tourist site.
