Château d'Aynac

En un regard

Le château en bref

Château d'Aynac, in the north of the Lot, is an early seventeenth-century residence associated with François de Turenne (1548–1633). It consists of two wings joined by a central tower housing a monumental staircase, the whole flanked by circular towers with machicolations, topped with pavilion roofs (toits à l'impériale). Around sixty rooms are arranged across the building, with coffered ceilings in the French style decorated with painted motifs and two large fireplaces on the first floor. Listed as a monument historique on 26 July 1988, the building belonged to the commune, which sold it to a private individual following a referendum held in 2008. It now offers accommodation in its period rooms, with grounds, swimming pools and a function room.
