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.

Beautiful village but chateau is private

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

Nontron is an interesting place. It seems to have been inhabited since the Bronze Age and the Romans also settled here. It is definitely worth a visit.

Don't hesitate to get off the Flow Vélo to discover the village of Marthon. The detour is worth it!
