Château de Montastruc, Medieval castle in Lamonzie-Montastruc, France
The stone fortress displays medieval architecture with fortified walls, defensive towers, and strategic positioning on elevated ground in the Dordogne department.
Built in the 13th century, the castle provided shelter to the Grand-ducal family of Luxembourg during World War II while they awaited visas to escape.
The château features 18th-century grand kitchens with vaulted rooms, original pavements, and a functional historical bakery that reflects period cooking methods.
The castle opens its doors during European Heritage Days in September, offering free guided tours through the courtyard, fortress walls, and hidden caverns.
Ancient graffiti discovered in the caves and attics of Château de Montastruc documents both major historical events and daily life through centuries.
