This week in the agenda

Château de Roquetaillade stands in Mazères (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, third quarter of the 19th century). Adult admission costs 11.5 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Located in Mazères, in the Gironde region, Roquetaillade brings together two fortresses built on a rocky outcrop: the ruins of the old castle and the 14th century new castle, which has remained in the hands of the same family since its beginnings. Its interior was entirely reworked by Viollet-le-Duc and his pupil Duthoit between 1860 and 1870, down to the furniture, fireplaces and paintings. The adjoining chapel, a remnant of the vanished fortified village, also holds a 19th century decor.
