    • Located in Saint-Crépin-et-Carlucet, a few minutes from Sarlat-la-Canéda, very close to the Gardens of the Manoir d'Eyrignac, you will discover the Château de Lacypierre, built between the 15th and 17th centuries, on a 13th century stump.

      The building, constructed on either side of a hexagonal tower, has a square tower housing a dovecote and a slate roof.

      Let Isabelle and Florence, the owners, tell you the story of the Bénié de Lacypierre family and the story of the restoration of the castle by their parents.

      Discover also refined and warm interiors: antique furniture, art objects, a collection of antique earthenware, as well as attics with slate roofs.
