Château de Raysse

En un regard

Le château en bref

Overlooking the Pas de Raysse, a rocky promontory where the Dordogne leaves the Quercy for the Périgord Noir, the Château de Raysse, in Cazoulès, was built for the de Raysse family, allies of the Duke of Aquitaine and supporters of Richard the Lionheart. Its round defensive tower pierced with arrow slits is thought to date back to the 12th century, while the residential part was built in the 17th century, at the end of the Wars of Religion, on an estate that later passed to the Labrousse family. Now privately owned, the château can be rented in its entirety for receptions.
