Château de Mareuil
Historic site and monument
Details
Seat of one of the four baronies of the Périgord – along with Beynac, Biron and Bourdeilles – the castle of Mareuil is a lowland castle rebuilt in the 15th century on the site of a medieval stronghold destroyed during the Hundred Years’ War. Besides a Flamboyant Gothic style chapel, the castle also houses a room dedicated to the First French Empire in which furniture and documents tell the story of Marshal Lannes, duke of Montebello (1769-1809), ancestor of the present owners. The famous troubadour Arnaut de Mareuil was born in Mareuil in the 12th century.
