Château de Lavardens, Medieval castle in Lavardens, France

The Château de Lavardens stands on a rocky hill, featuring seventeen rooms with terracotta and limestone pavements displaying geometric patterns throughout the structure.

First documented in 1140, the castle belonged to the Counts of Armagnac until 1473 when it fell to royalist forces under Louis XI.

The castle functions as an art center, presenting exhibitions of contemporary artists, including ceramics, paintings, and traditional French nativity figurines.

The castle opens daily from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM on weekdays, extending to 6:00 PM during weekends.

The castle's distinctive belvedere extends across three facades, constructed by Antoine de Roquelaure in 1620 for his wife Suzanne de Bassabat.
