Château des Charreaux stands in Hautefort (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Built in the seventeenth century in Hautefort, Château des Charreaux features classical architecture with a long central building flanked by two lateral pavilions. The complex stands out for its mansard roofs once covered with scaled slate tiles and its outbuildings that enhance the overall design. Two notable structures complete this heritage: a chapel and a dovecote topped with a campanile shaped like a Saracen helmet.

What to know

The château has been listed as a historical monument since 1979, protecting the facades, roofs, outbuildings, chapel, dovecote, and certain notable interior fireplaces.
The chapel's roof, originally similar to that of the dovecote, was removed in the early twentieth century.
The main structure includes an additional storey at each of the two lateral pavilions, giving volume and hierarchy to the composition.
