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, typical of Midi architecture, stands out from the round towers more common to French royal fortifications. Built in the 12th century, it is the only vestige of the town's capture by Richard the Lionheart in 1188, and bears witness to the occupation of the bishops of Cahors, co-lords of Luzech in the early 13th century. Known as the Tower of Luzech, this monument is being restored and preserved under the aegis of the Fondation du Patrimoine, with the prospect of organizing exhibitions and events there in the near future.
