This medieval castle from the 12th and 15th centuries, now in ruins, is located in the heart of the village of Lavauguyon. The castle, built on a slope, dominates the Tardoire in a remarkable setting. The interior of the château comprised two vast main buildings and a large chapel. Abandoned in the 18th century, it was dismantled during the French Revolution of 1789. From the outside, you can see the remains of the square porch keep and the curtain walls of the main enclosure, flanked by four corner towers and surrounded by fairly well-preserved moats. This site is maintained and preserved by the commune of Maisonnais-sur-Tardoire and the association "Les amis de Lavauguyon". The association regularly hosts volunteer workcamps, and offers introductory workshops in masonry and stonemasonry for the general public.
