Manoir du Rouergoux stands in Saint-Médard (Lot), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, third quarter of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Saint-Médard, in the Lot department, the Rouergoux manor stands amid a farming complex that has remained largely intact since the 17th century. The square tower, a former dovecote still pierced with its nesting holes, overlooks a traditional Quercy dwelling built above a vaulted cellar. The highlight is an unusually rare barn whose curved roof timbers rest directly on the ground, continuing into a stable and byre. A bread oven, wine vats and a pigsty complete this picture of rural farm life from past centuries.
