Château de Clauzuroux

Castle of the 17th century, registered in the inventory of Historic Monuments... Taking up the H-shaped plan, characteristic of the French style, the castle of Clauzuroux consists of a multi-storey dwelling stretching between two large pavilions with three levels. One can admire the tiled roofs, à la Mansart, decorated with dormer windows, an 18th century portal with a curved pediment above a low arch, an architectural well, terraces and gardens leading to a bridge over the Pude. The castle estate is made up of several buildings that bear witness to the castle's utilitarian and pleasure vocations: the outbuildings, the mill on the Pude forebay, which has retained its mechanism, a steward's house and a barn in its extension, and a circular dovecote with a conical roof. It is one of the finest examples of an 18th century Perigordian manor house.
