Discover the awe-inspiring Château de Castelnau-Bretenoux, a magnificent architectural masterpiece perched atop a rocky plateau in Quercy. Overlooking the confluence of four rivers – Cère, Bave, Mamoul, and Dordogne – the castle has been described by writer Prosper Mérimée as "a summary of medieval art."
Step into a world of timeless beauty as you explore its historic interiors. The exquisite apartments, now open to the public, offer a glimpse into refined elegance, featuring a carefully curated collection of furniture and artwork. Each piece, personally selected by Jean Mouliérat, tells a unique story and adds to the grandeur of this medieval gem. Experience the perfect blend of history, art, and breathtaking views.
