The small and simple parish church of Notre-Dame de La Roque-Gageac, built in the late Romanesque style, dates from 1330. The west wall was renovated in the 17th century and has an opening in its gable with a round arch in which the church bell hangs. The roof is covered with slate stones from the region.

There is an old stone cross in front of the church.

Castelnaud-la-Chapelle

Highlight • Castle

Castelnaud-la-Chapelle stands proudly on a hill in the heart of the Périgord Noir and offers a wonderful view of the confluence of the Dordogne and the Céou. The narrow, winding and quite steep streets meander between unique medieval houses up to the castle and offer numerous very beautiful photo opportunities.

The picturesque silhouette of the place is determined by the Castelnaud castle, a medieval fortification from the 12th / 13th centuries. Century. The castle now houses a museum of medieval warfare. Various siege machines can be viewed in their original size on the grounds of the castle, for example various slingshots, a cannon and a very large crossbow which could be used to shoot up to 300m. Inside the castle is a large exhibition with beautifully decorated crossbows and everyday objects from different eras.

Castelnaud-la-Chapelle is one of the most beautiful villages in France.

Nearby, in an 18th century farmhouse, is the Walnut Eco-Museum.
