Château de Nontron, Historic castle in Nontron, France

The castle features a central sculpted projection on its western facade and stands on a rectangular plan with multiple distinct levels overlooking Bandiat Valley.

The original fortress was donated to Charroux Abbey by Count Roger of Limoges in 785, leading to the establishment of the Saint-Sauveur Monastery.

The castle currently houses the Experimental Center for Arts and Crafts, promoting traditional craftsmanship education and preservation in the Périgord-Limousin region.

The ground floor contains art exhibitions, a craft shop, and a dedicated space for blade and metal work, attracting 16,000 visitors annually.

Eight vaulted structures support the first terrace of the castle gardens, providing extensive views across the surrounding landscape from forty meters high.
