Château d'Estillac, Medieval fortified castle in Estillac, France.

The castle exhibits a trapezoidal structure with a triangular courtyard, surrounded by defensive towers and thick walls incorporating elements from the 13th century.

Blaise de Monluc inherited the estate in 1544 and undertook substantial renovations inspired by his Italian military campaigns, including bastioned walls.

The castle kitchens maintain their 14th-century characteristics, providing evidence of medieval culinary practices and daily life from that period.

The site, private property located in the Lot-et-Garonne department, requires prior authorization for visits and exploration of the premises.

A white marble cenotaph with a partially damaged effigy stands on the castle's enclosure wall, commemorating Blaise de Monluc.
