Javerlhac Castle was rebuilt around 1498 by Dauphin Pastoureau, a master blacksmith in Nontron. It is typical of Périgord manor houses, with a rectangular dwelling, a large round tower with machicolations decorated with trefoils, and a polygonal tower housing a spiral staircase. The castle retains defensive features such as gun ports, despite modernization in the early 19th century. It burned down in 1369 during the Hundred Years' War and has undergone several reconstructions. Privately owned, its facades and roofs have been listed as historic monuments since 1974.

Very beautiful castle. Unfortunately you can only visit it from the outside

Very beautiful mill from the 18th century. Beautifully embedded in the landscape.

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention that dates back to pre-Christian times. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could be easily replaced by a watercourse - natural or artificial - in order to grind grain into corn or press oil from fruit, for example. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: either the water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or the water is guided above the wheel and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

The Château de la Tranchade dominates the Anguienne valley on a rocky outcrop protecting the south-eastern access to Angoulême. A strategic stronghold to control Angoulême, La Tranchade has often been besieged.

The Moulin Martin, which dates from the 18th century, is located in Javerlhac-et-la-Chapelle-Saint-Robert. It is a working water mill for walnut oil. It is equipped with a moving paddle wheel. It is possible to visit it by appointment.
