Château de Jumilhac Tours and gardens in the heart of the Périgord Vert and the Isle gorges

In the heart of the Isle Gorges, this imposing castle dates back to the 12th century. Remodeled during the Renaissance, it was adorned by Antoine Chapelle, 1st Count of Jumilhac (1597), with magical roofs with allegorical ridges surprising in their mysterious diversity.

Transformed and decorated with terraced French gardens by François, 1st Marquis of Jumilhac (1655), it evokes through the Room of "The Spinner" (legend and frescoes), the "Queen's" staircase, the paneled Grand Salon, the Louis XIII fireplace in carved wood, the Louis XV salon, painted canvases and copper in battery... the social and military rise of its builders, the Jumilhacs who became Duke of Richelieu in 1822.

Castle open all year except Christmas and New Year's Day.

From June to September, every day from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. (self-guided or guided tour depending on the schedule), with evening tours (candles, torches, music and costumes) on Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m. (plus Thursdays in July/August).
