Château de Lauzun

The stone structure displays Renaissance architectural elements with a central doorway, monumental marble fireplaces, and diamond-shaped terracotta tiled floors in the state room.

The castle served as residence to Antonin Nompar de Caumont, Duke of Lauzun from 1632 to 1723, and received architectural contributions from Pierre Souffron, architect of Henry IV.

The castle maintains multiple Renaissance marble fireplaces, including one gifted by Catherine de Medici specifically for the royal bedroom of King Henry IV.

Located at 23 rue du Château in Lauzun, the monument requires advance reservations for group visits and offers guided tours with English-speaking staff members.

The castle houses an ancient Gallo-Roman altar dedicated to the goddess Guardianship, merging classical antiquity with Renaissance architecture.
