Chateau Puyguilhem

Dating back Early Renaissance times (beginning of the XVIth century) Puyguilhem's splendour can easily be compared to that of the most beautiful Chateaux of the Val de Loire region built during the reign of French King François I.

Puyguilhem is characterized by greatly harmonious dimensions, as can be seen in the main building offering towers and turrets of varied shapes, and in the façace with all its mullioned windows.

A rich sculptured decoration: machicolations, stairs, dormer windows, coffered ceilings, fireplaces such as the so-called "Labours of Hercules" : all here plays a noticeable role in the overall elegance of this château.
You will also see a remarkable oak roof frame in the form of an inverted hull. Beautiful furniture and tapestries decorate all rooms.
