Crowning a 40-meter high rocky spur, this 11th-century castle was a stronghold of heretics and then a key bastion in the Hundred Years' War. It is distinguished by its unusual rock-hewn entrance and its intact 6-story, 70-meter high keep, offering an exceptional panorama.
The history of Château de Gavaudun spans nearly a millennium, marked by heresies, major medieval sieges, and strategic alliances between Périgord and Agenais.
