Château de Lacoste

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Lacoste stands in Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, about 2 km south-southeast of the village, on the left bank of the Céou, in the Périgord Noir. Built in the 19th century on the basis of an 18th-century manor house, it has a main residential block about thirty metres long, framed by two square pavilions at the north-west and south-west corners, with a doorway flanked by rusticated pilasters supporting a triangular pediment. A wider wing and a third building form an L-shaped plan. The estate includes French formal gardens, a neo-Gothic chapel, an 18th-century fountain, a public wash house and a 3.80 m menhir. The façades and roofs are listed (inscrits) as Monuments historiques; the park is a classified site. Privately owned, it is now set up for accommodation and receptions.
