A 13th, 15th, 16th and 18th century fortified castle, listed as a Historic Monument.
Bonaguil Castle is located in Lot-et-Garonne, on the border of the river Lot and a stone's throw from the Dordogne. It is only 2 hours from Bordeaux and Toulouse, and 1 hour from Agen, Cahors and Sarlat. In the heart of the Lot Valley, it is close to the ‘Most Beautiful Villages of France’ of Tournon d'Agenais, Penne d'Agenais, Monflanquin, Villeréal and Pujols.
From the top of its rocky spur, it dominates the valley and the medieval village. Together, the castle and village form a historic estate, unique in Europe, of gigantic proportions and in a remarkable state of preservation.
During a guided, audio-guided or self-guided tour, the castle of Bonaguil, its keep, its cave, its drawbridges and many other features will immerse you in the heart of medieval history.
