Lauzun Castle, a listed monument since 1963, is a place of history, and the residence of the first Duke of Lauzun, Antonin Nompar de Caumont (1632-1723). The Lauzun Castle architecture is a legacy of the Renaissance period.
Our favourites:
- The two huge Italian Renaissance style fireplaces in marble credited to the architect Pierre Souffron (Henri de Navarre's architect, Henri IV to be), including the one in the King's bedroom offered by Catherine de Médicis.
- The Gallo-Roman altar of the Tutelle goddess.
The large ceremonial room's 16th century décor has also been preserved, especially its paved floor with diamond shapes terracotta tiles.
Contemporary painting and sculpture exhibition. The exposition is indoors and in the park and gardens.
