Le Maison Forte de Reignac
Noble hideout for 700 years
About
Built under the escarpment, this cliff-house grows out of the rock into which it is cut and disguises the vast rock shelters that have weathered the great changes in our civilization over more than 20,000 years.
Infinitely larger than you would suspect from the outside, the facade hides impressive underground rooms and lofts, a great hall, a weapons room, kitchen, bedrooms, chapel, dungeons and a storeroom.
In addition to its natural protection, this fortification has many defensive features including a bartizan, murder hole, cannon, and loopholes.
Of exceptional historical interest and jealously closed to the public, La Maison Forte de Reignac was opened for tours in April 2006.
This jewel of our heritage exhibits authentic prehistoric artefacts discovered at the site.
Conserved in an exceptional state and fully furnished in the style of the times, it is the only totally intact “Cliff Château” monument in France.
Self-guided only!
