Hautefort Castle
The castle is located on a rocky spur overlooking the town and village of Hautefort. Built over a period from the end of the 16th century to the end of the 17th century on the foundations of an old medieval fortress, its architecture clearly evokes the castles of the Loire and Versailles. It is the only classical building in the Dordogne. Embellished in particular by the addition in the 19th century of a French garden and a landscaped park, it is a unique site that combines the splendor of nature and the majesty of architecture, with a culture of refinement inherited and transmitted over time.
