Puymartin Castle, located 6km from Sarlat, is a real fairytale setting.
The remains of a primitive 13th century castle destroyed by the repeated assaults of the Hundred Years' War, the multiple architectural transformations and additions carried out until the profound remodeling of the 19th century, are part of the great moments in the History of France. The painted decorations from the 17th century as well as its mythological cabinet, classified as a Historic Monument, are unique in Périgord. You will also discover the unique history of this family who has occupied the place for 600 years, its most intimate secrets, the 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 resurfaced from the past, such as the famous legend of the White Lady...
Small dogs allowed, carried in the castle.
