Château des Rois ducs, Historical monument in Sauveterre-la-Lémance, France.
The Château des Rois ducs stands on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Lémance and Sendroux valleys, featuring limestone walls and defensive structures.
Edward I of England ordered the construction of this fortress in the late 13th century to control the route between Périgord and Agenais regions.
The castle demonstrates the evolution of French military architecture through its defensive elements and feudal characteristics preserved across centuries.
Visitors should check opening hours before planning their visit, as access to the castle varies depending on seasons and restoration periods.
Aviator Jean Mermoz discovered this castle from the air and purchased it in 1936, just months before his tragic disappearance.
