Château de Luzier

En un regard

Le château en bref

Château de Luzier stands in the commune of Beaumontois-en-Périgord (former commune of Beaumont-du-Périgord). Of the 14th-century structures, only fragments of ramparts and a tower survive. The present building was largely rebuilt after the bombardment led by the Viscount of Turenne in 1585, in the form of a rectangular building interrupted by a projecting pavilion. The original drawbridge was replaced by a monumental 17th-century porch flanked by two crouching lions. The château, the fortified gate of Beaumont that takes its name from it, the remains of the old castle, the courtyards, the dovecote and the guardhouse have been listed as historic monuments (inscription) since 23 March 2009 (an earlier listing of 1948 having been annulled). Private property.
