Château de Cazeneuve, Medieval castle near Préchac, France
Château de Cazeneuve is a castle with an irregular polygon shape, two towers, and defensive moats positioned along the Ciron River. The structure spans multiple levels and combines medieval chambers with rooms from later periods.
The castle was founded by Amanieu VII d'Albret on a rocky location and later became the property of Henri III of Navarre, who sold it in 1583.
The royal apartments display period furnishings that reveal how noble families lived and entertained in past centuries. Walking through these rooms shows the taste and values that shaped daily life in a royal household.
The park opens early in the morning for visitors who want to walk and have picnics, while the castle interior opens later in the day. It is useful to arrive in the morning if you want to explore the grounds and surroundings before touring the rooms inside.
Beneath the castle lies a network of caves carved into the rock and medieval cellars that have been used for storing Bordeaux wines for generations. These underground spaces reveal a hidden layer of the property that many visitors overlook.
