Château de Laxion, Renaissance castle in Corgnac-sur-l'Isle, France
The castle features four main residential buildings surrounded by round towers and includes a square tower with a drawbridge entrance.
Antoine Chapt de Rastignac protected the castle during the religious wars of the 16th century as Commander of the nobility against Huguenot raids.
The castle represents architectural evolution from the 14th to 17th centuries, incorporating medieval defensive elements with Renaissance decorative features.
Current restoration work continues on the castle buildings following damaging fires in 1997 and 2008, with some areas remaining inaccessible to visitors.
The north porch displays Renaissance motifs while the south facade features period-specific dormer windows, demonstrating architectural transitions of its time.
