Castelnaud-la-Chapelle stands proudly on a hill in the heart of the Périgord Noir and offers a wonderful view of the confluence of the Dordogne and the Céou. The narrow, winding and quite steep streets meander between unique medieval houses up to the castle and offer numerous very beautiful photo opportunities.

The picturesque silhouette of the place is determined by the Castelnaud castle, a medieval fortification from the 12th / 13th centuries. Century. The castle now houses a museum of medieval warfare. Various siege machines can be viewed in their original size on the grounds of the castle, for example various slingshots, a cannon and a very large crossbow which could be used to shoot up to 300m. Inside the castle is a large exhibition with beautifully decorated crossbows and everyday objects from different eras.

Castelnaud-la-Chapelle is one of the most beautiful villages in France.

Nearby, in an 18th century farmhouse, is the Walnut Eco-Museum.

Castelnaud Castle

Highlight • Castle

The imposing castle on the Dordogne River is noticeable from afar.
It's a bit of a challenge to walk up the village to the castle, as the narrow streets are very steep.

The picturesque town of Castelnaud-la-Chapelle on the Dordogne is determined by the silhouette of Castelnaud Castle. The houses nestle against the mountain below the castle from the 13th century, which was renovated from the mid-1960s and is still being renovated.
