Château d'Aucors, Protected historical castle in Beaussac, France.
The Château d'Aucors stands on a limestone cliff twenty meters above road D87, with caves carved within its rocky foundation.
The first castle from the 11th century changed hands during the Hundred Years War before undergoing reconstruction in 1617 following damage from the Wars of Religion.
The architecture features two square residential buildings connected by a polygonal staircase tower, demonstrating medieval construction techniques of the Périgord region.
Located in Mareuil en Périgord, in the Dordogne department, the castle maintains its position overlooking the Nizonne Valley since the Middle Ages.
The castle kitchen contains a thirty-meter-deep well that extends through the limestone foundation, providing direct access to water supplies.
