# Palais de Jean XXII

Cahors, Lot, Occitanie

Palais de Jean XXII stands in Cahors (Lot), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Cahors, a tower rising more than thirty metres still stands out above the townscape: it is the sole remnant of the palace built in the early 14th century by the Duèze family. Pierre Duèze, brother of Pope John XXII, wanted a residence worthy of his relative's papal standing. Torn down from the early 15th century onward to supply stone for repairing the nearby bridge, the building lost everything but its square tower, later absorbed into the town's defensive walls and restored at the end of the 19th century.

**Practical details not verified yet.** We know this château and where it is, but we have not yet checked its opening hours or prices at the source. We would rather tell you than display something we are unsure of.
