The castle of Losse and its gardens

Welcome to the Castle of Losse and its gardens

"There is the spirit of the place"

5 km from Montignac-Lascaux on the d706 towards Les Eyzies, The Castle of Losse Classified as "historical monument" dominates the Vézère.

Enclosed in walls bordered by deep moats, the medieval fortress gave way in 1576 to an elegant Chateau de Plaisance. It is accessed by the fortified Châtelet one of the largest defensive works of this kind in the south of France.

The architecture of the Renaissance affirms here its elegance. The remarkable decor and precious furniture of the sixteenth and seventeenth period adorning the apartments evoke the living environment of John II of Losse, preceptor of Henri IV and Governor of Guyenne under the reigns of the last Valois and the first bourbons. The gardens classified and labelled "remarkable gardens" offer an enchanting course around the castle.

Garden Lounge for picnic and tea room are located in the garden of the princess.
