Château de Peyraux

To make a day of it

Château de Peyraux stands in Le Lardin-Saint-Lazare (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). Adult admission costs 8 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on October 23, 2026.

Peyraux castle stands in a wooded valley of the Périgord, near Le Lardin-Saint-Lazare, a short distance from Lascaux. Built mainly in the 15th century by the Flamenc family, it keeps the defensive character of its three massive towers, scarred by the siege it endured in 1635. The outbuildings, which encircle the main house, still recall this military past, while the terraced gardens and surrounding park give the place a more peaceful face today.

What to know

• The castle has been listed as a historic monument since 1948, with the outbuildings added to the listing in 1974.
• It lies in the Vézère valley, close to Lascaux and the abbey of Saint-Amand-de-Coly.
• No verified opening hours or admission prices are available for this listing.
• A visit combines the old buildings with a wooded park and terraced gardens, in a rural, hilly setting.
