Château de Sauvebœuf, château in Dordogne, Aquitane, France
Château de Sauvebœuf is a stone castle in Lalinde with multiple towers of different shapes. The structure includes an octagonal tower, two square towers, and a small round turret that give the building a fortified appearance.
The castle was built in the 14th century and first mentioned in 1371 as 'salvabuo'. During the Wars of Religion it was destroyed, but was rebuilt in the 16th century by the Cugnac family, who shaped its new form.
The name comes from old French 'salvabuo', reflecting its historical importance to the region. Visitors can observe how the stone architecture and multiple towers show how the place has been inhabited and used across the centuries.
The place now functions as a private estate with guest accommodations, allowing visitors to experience the historic building firsthand. Accessibility should be verified in advance since it remains a private residential property.
The castle housed a collection of works by Swiss artists who lived there over time and left their creations behind. This artistic connection shows how the place attracted creativity beyond its historical military and noble functions.
