The Château (15thC) is situated on the North side of the Beune Valley opposite the ruins of the medieval fortress Chateau Commarque (12thC) and is close to the prehistoric Magdalénien cave of Cap Blanc. The site is classified as a Monument Historique.

The Château fell into disuse until the beginning of the 20thC when it was restored by Henri Deglas (M.I). It was inhabited until about 1940 when it was again abandoned.

Château is dominated by the square Donjon which is the tallest of the three towers. All three are machicolated but smaller one on the edge of the precipice is without its top section. The restoration carried out by Henri Deglas and the additions, whilst being obvious, create the current romantic form.

The current work has been limited to the interior and includes the provision of a central heating system, modern plumbing, electrical systems, flooring and new kitchens.

Immediately west of the Château is the formal garden. Again created at the turn of the century, and at the end of this is a small private chapel (17thC) Further west, adjacent to the estate, are the caves of Cap Blanc containing the prehistoric Magdalénien friezes (13,000BC) and painting. The ‘Venus of Laussel’ a “Bas-Relief” carving dating from 25,000BC is now in the Bordeaux museum, was found further up the valley.
