Discovered while passing by, this castle intrigued us immediately and what a surprise it was when we visited it.
Listed as a historic monument on October 16, 1964, it is the strangest, most unusual, most secret and most mysterious castle. Built on an escarpment overlooking the Vézère valley, Reignac has seen it all: from prehistoric times 20,000 years ago when hunter-gatherers used these vast rock shelters to protect themselves from the cold to the Middle Ages and the construction of the “cliff castle”.
Ready to go back in time? Every room in the Maison Forte de Reignac features period furniture and artifacts, and a mysterious museum will take you back to the Middle Ages.
This is one of our favourite castles in Périgord.
