Château de Fénelon, Medieval fortress in Sainte-Mondane, France.
The Château de Fénelon rises above the Dordogne valley with its triple defensive walls and slate roofs, standing on rocky terraces between Périgord Noir and Quercy.
The castle began as a feudal structure in 1000, served as a Cathar refuge in the 13th century, and endured multiple sieges during the Hundred Years War.
The castle displays collections of arms, armor, and furniture from the 15th to 18th centuries, representing the evolution of noble life across different periods.
Visitors can explore the castle through self-guided tours lasting approximately ninety minutes, with adult admission priced at 11 euros.
The castle maintains one of the few remaining original lauze stone roofs in the Sarlat region, demonstrating medieval construction techniques.
