Château de Cauzac

En un regard

Le château en bref

Perched on a rocky spur in the commune of Cauzac, in the Lot-et-Garonne, the château retains traces of a thirteenth-century medieval construction, remodelled during several building campaigns in the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Its commanding position did not prevent the Croquants of the Périgord from sacking it in 1595, during the peasant revolts at the end of the Wars of Religion. Left in poor condition during the seventeenth century, it was extensively remodelled at the beginning of the eighteenth century, the effort focusing above all on the interior fittings and decoration, while the original defensive silhouette remains discernible. The château and its outbuildings have been listed together as monuments historiques since 28 December 1995. It is a privately owned property and is not open to the public by announced visits.
