THE DUNGEON OF LUZECH
Go there and contact
A square keep typical of the Midi school of architecture, this is the only surviving example of Richard the Lionheart's takeover of the town.
The square keep is typical of the Midi school of architecture, unlike the round towers that were the rule in the domain of the King of France. Dating from the 12th century, it is the only witness to the capture of the town by Richard the Lionheart in 1188, as well as to the occupation of Luzech by the bishops of Cahors, co-lords of Luzech in the early 13th century. Known as the "Tour de Luzech", the monument is currently being safeguarded and restored by the Fondation du Patrimoine, and may soon host exhibitions and events.
