In the Périgord noir region, on the left bank of the Vézère river, the château de Mellet stands on the foundations of a medieval noble residence, rebuilt in the second half of the 17th century after a fire destroyed the earlier buildings.

Inside, a stone staircase decorated with stucco and a salon with period wood panelling remain visible.
