Château de Jumilhac, Renaissance castle in Jumilhac-le-Grand, France.
The castle structure features high roofs with cones, pepperboxes, and pyramids decorated with seigniorial and alchemical symbols throughout its exterior surfaces.
The original defensive fortress from 1190 protected against Visigoth, Frank, Saracen, Norman, and English attacks before its transformation during the Renaissance period.
The Salon des 4 Saisons displays Chantilly-style parquet flooring and detailed hunting scenes that reflect French aristocratic traditions.
The castle opens daily from 2 PM to 6 PM with extended summer hours from 10 AM to 7 PM, offering guided tours that last approximately one hour.
The Chamber of La Fileuse preserves the memory of Louise de Hautefort, who spent 30 years in captivity within its austere walls.
