Lacave: Chateau de France - History
Belcastel Castle is located in the town of Lacave in the Lot department, in France. At the confluence of the Dordogne and the Ouysse, 150 m above sea level, it overlooks a cliff about 55 meters above the rivers.
The castle consists of a residential building dating from the end of the 18th century or the beginning of the 19th century, incorporating a keep from the 15th century. A chapel mentioned in a charter of 1154 but today in the 15th century style is distinct.
Built by Adhémar de Turenne, viscount of the Échelles (898-941), the castle was mentioned in 930 in his will for the benefit of the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Martin de Tulle under the name Castrum etiam bellum (“Castle still beautiful”). It's a private property and cannot be visited. Château de Belcastel is situated nearby to the place of worship Église de Lacave and Grottes de Lacave.
