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

Of the 104 castles we list in Lot, these 55 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 55 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Middle Ages, spread across 49 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château de Cénevières (Cénevières Castle) (open to visitors), Château des Doyens à Carennac (a listed historic monument), Château des Anglais (on the historic monuments register), Château de Larroque-Toirac (Larroque-Toirac Castle) (332 reviews) and Palais de Jean XXII (14th century).

12 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 12 and the prices of 4 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 17 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Middle Ages, with 55 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
