Castelnaud-la-Chapelle Castle is a beautifully preserved medieval fortress located in the Dordogne region of southwestern France. Perched on a strategic hilltop overlooking the Beune Valley, the castle dates back to the 12th century and played a key role during the Hundred Years’ War. Today, it stands as one of the finest examples of military architecture from the Middle Ages and is a popular tourist attraction renowned for its authenticity and educational exhibits.
Visitors can explore extensive restored sections of the castle, including ramparts, towers, the keep, and the inner courtyard. Highlights include authentic siege weapons such as catapults and trebuchets, an armoury displaying over 70 suits of armour and medieval weapons, and a museum dedicated to medieval warfare. Daily re-enactments, falconry displays, and seasonal events further bring the Middle Ages to life.
Yes, the castle is highly family-friendly. Interactive exhibits, costumed demonstrations, and hands-on activities such as trying on replica armour or watching live siege demonstrations captivate younger visitors. The site also features themed trails and educational workshops designed specifically for children, making it an engaging and informative day out for families.
Most visitors spend between 1.5 to 2.5 hours exploring the castle and its grounds. This allows ample time to tour the museum, watch a demonstration, walk the ramparts, and enjoy the panoramic views. Families with children or those attending special events may wish to allow up to 3 hours for a comprehensive experience.
