Built in the 15th century, this fortified manor in the Dordogne region once belonged to the Excideuil lordship.

Its facades retain traces of its defensive past: corner turrets and carved stone ornaments, including an escutcheon and cordelier heads adorning the main door. The estate also includes a circular dovecote and a sundial, evidence of an organized agricultural enterprise.

What to know

Renaissance-style openings visible on the north facade show that the manor underwent modernization during the Renaissance period.
The site experienced partial destruction or abandonment, now representing only a portion of its original complex.
