A Glimpse into History
Built in the 12th century by the powerful Commarque family, the château once protected the valley from invaders. Abandoned in the 18th century, it was rediscovered and restored in the 20th century by Hubert de Commarque — a direct descendant of the original lords.
Today, it is a unique heritage site where nature, architecture, and history intertwine — truly a must-see during your Dordogne vacation.
