Hautefort Castle was built between the late 16th and late 17th centuries on the remains of an ancient medieval fortress. Its architecture is clearly reminiscent of the Loire Valley châteaux, with a classical style combining elegance and defensive elements, including crenellated towers and a large quadrangle. The Marquis Jacques-François de Hautefort, a great builder, carried out a significant transformation to create a refined residence with galleries, a chapel, and rich interior decoration. The castle is surrounded by magnificent French gardens designed in the 19th century by the Count of Choulot. It survived the Revolution thanks to the defense of the inhabitants and was restored after a fire in the 20th century.
