Château de Sainte-Fortunade stands in Sainte-Fortunade (Corrèze), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In Sainte-Fortunade, in the Corrèze department, a 15th-century château now houses the town hall, which explains its well-preserved exterior. Visitors come mainly for the defensive architecture: towers, corner turrets and machicolations give the building a massive silhouette, altered in the 19th century without losing its medieval character. As a working municipal building, it is seen chiefly from the outside.
