Hautefort Castle, located on a rocky outcrop overlooking the town and village of Hautefort, is a rare example of classical architecture in the Dordogne. Built from the 16th to the 17th century on the foundations of an old castle, its architecture is reminiscent of the castles of the Loire. The construction, led by architects Nicolas Rambourg and Jacques Maigret, was intended for the family of the Marquis de Hautefort, close to the king and influential at Court, renowned for their generosity towards the poor.
