À propos du lieu

Château de Gavaudun

Bourg, 47150 Gavaudun

Lot-et-Garonne
Nouvelle-Aquitaine

In the twelfth century, the heretics «Henriciens» made it their hideout before being dislodged by John of Assida. Besieged and destroyed by the bishop of Périgueux, Gavaudun was rebuilt in the 13th century on the foundations of the first castle. It locked a communication axis between Périgord and Agenais and was one of the last French bastions during the Hundred Years War.
Owned by large families in the south-west, the fortress benefited from the talent of the best architects and a precursor defensive system for its time. Its daring architecture with an entrance carved in limestone, curtains with cliff sides and a keep of 6 floors high at 70 meters, all dominating a valley classified natural site make it a picturesque site.
