Château de Lanquais, Renaissance castle in Lanquais, France.
The Château de Lanquais stands on the south bank of the Dordogne River, featuring multiple architectural elements from different construction periods.
Construction of this fortified residence began in the 15th century, evolving from medieval defensive features to Renaissance architectural refinements.
