Château de Comborn, Medieval fortress in Orgnac-sur-Vézère, France.
The castle stands on a rocky outcrop rising 70 meters above a meander of the Vézère River, offering views across the surrounding landscape.
Built in the 11th century, the castle served as the seat of the Viscounty of Comborn and underwent significant reconstruction in 1436 under Viscount Jean I.
The castle grounds feature archaeological discoveries from a chapel and contain architectural elements from different construction periods spanning several centuries.
Visitors can take 45-minute guided tours of the castle for 7.50 euros, with access to medieval remains including the dungeon, square tower, and chapel.
The castle received notable guests including Count of Mirabeau, who stayed here during visits to his sister, the Marquise du Saillant.
