Château de Lusignac

En un regard

Le château en bref

Château de Lusignac is a former rectangular fortress with four corner towers, overlooking the village of Lusignac in the Périgord Vert. Its oldest parts date back to the 12th–13th century; the current residential wing dates mostly from the 15th century and is built of dressed stone and limestone rubble. A rusticated Louis XIII gateway, adorned with the arms of the La Porte aux Loups family, opens onto the courtyard, while a south door bears the date 1665. Severely damaged by fire around the turn of the 20th century, the building has been restored since 1972 by its current owners, who notably rebuilt a main tower to restore architectural coherence. A private property, the château is open to visitors on an occasional basis.
