Château de Perricard stands in Montayral (Lot-et-Garonne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Montayral, in the Lot-et-Garonne department, the château de Perricard preserves the outline of a 16th-century manor once held for generations by the Raffin family. Part of its trapeze-shaped range of buildings and corner towers still stands, along with notable carved decoration around doors and windows. Visitors can see motifs of pruned branches, fleur-de-lys and dolphins, plus a fireplace hood painted with a battle scene. The building stands as a record of seigneurial architecture in the Agenais region, shaped by a turbulent history of inheritance disputes and lawsuits.
