Château de Puymartin

The castle of Puymartin, located 6km from Sarlat is a real fairy tale setting.

The remains of a primitive 13th century castle destroyed by the repeated assaults of the Hundred Years War, the many architectural transformations and additions carried out until the profound reworking of the 19th century, are part of the great moments in the history of France. The painted decorations of the 17th century as well as its mythological cabinet, classified as Historic Monuments, are unique in Pé rigord . You will also discover the singular history of this family which has occupied the premises for 600 years, its most intimate secrets, period furniture and tapestries, the private apartments of the Marquise. And while at the end of the 19th century, spells were attributed to the castle, strange stories would resurface from the past, such as the famous legend of the white lady...
