76 châteaux listed · verified entries first, then the most visited; alphabetical index at the bottom of the page

Of the 313 castles we list in Dordogne, these 76 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 76 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Classical period, spread across 69 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château d'Excideuil (Excideuil Castle) (open to visitors), Château de Lanquais (Lanquais Castle) (a listed historic monument), Château d'Eymet (Eymet Castle) (on the historic monuments register), Château de Caudon (Caudon Castle) (288 reviews) and Château de Montréal (Montréal Castle) (open to visitors).

9 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 8 and the prices of 6 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 11 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Classical period, with 76 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
