En un regard
Le château en bref
Château de Camy lies in the hamlet of Camy, in the commune of Luzech, in the Lot department. Its medieval core is attributed to the 14th century on the basis of a trefoil-headed window preserved on one of the wings. In 1600, the marriage of Jacquette de Ricard de Gourdon, widow of Jean II de Luzech, to Jean Chapt de Rastignac brought the estate into that family. The lordship of Rastignac was raised to a marquisate in 1617, and Camy served as a secondary residence for the Rastignacs during their stays in Luzech until the mid-18th century. The complex, L-shaped and partly built into the embankment of the road, is roofed in black slate. A square tower is attached to the eastern corner, and a small mansard-roofed wing retains a twin-light window with a capital decorated with palmettes, uncovered at the end of the 20th century. Remodelled in the 18th century, the château was divided into two residences; its main part was acquired by new owners in 2021. No protection under the Monuments historiques designation has been identified.
