5 km from Montignac-Lascaux on the road to Les Eyzies, The Castle of Losse Classified "historical Monument" dominates the Vézère.
Enclosed in walls bordered by deep moats, the medieval fortress has made way in 1576 to an elegant pleasure castle. It is accessed by the fortified Châtelet one of the greatest defensive works of its kind in the south of France.
The Renaissance architecture here affirms its elegance. The remarkable decor and precious 16th and 17th century furnishings that adorn 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 labeled "remarkable gardens" offer an enchanting tour around the castle.
