Château de Puymarteau stands in Brantôme en Périgord (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Puymarteau castle stands on the heights above Brantôme, overlooking the Dronne valley. This 16th-century Périgord manor house, completed in 1565, combines a main residential block with a polygonal stair tower and two corbelled turrets on its eastern façade. Notable features include a balustraded terrace, mullioned windows, a semicircular pedimented dormer, and, below the terrace, an armorial dovecote. The property now houses a wellness centre set up in the former barns.
