| Lanquais Castle : |
|
A historic monument since 1942, it is one of the most remarkable places in Périgord.
Situated 15 km from Bergerac, it is often called the "unfinished Louvre of Périgord".
Its architecture is rather unconventional and clearly shows an evolution over time which however resulted in this impressive and beautiful building that we see today. This combination of 3 architectural styles makes it look so ancient and so close to us at the same time. |
|
| - Medieval Construction – integrating all the elements of a fortified castle |
|
| - Renaissance construction – added to the medieval castle to turn it into a prestigious edifice devoted to the pleasures of life. |
|
| - XIX century construction and the outbuildings – through the centuries, the castle and surrounding buildings were transformed in order to further enlarge the property and expand its lively agricultural activities. |
|
|
| Lanquais Lake : |
|
| Situated in an enchanting setting, the Lanquais reservoir is spread over 10 hectares at the foot of the castle grounds. |
