MAISON FORTE DE REIGNAC
Go there and contact
A listed site, this troglodytic stronghold house, set against a cliff, once overlooked the Vézère and kept watch over the river.
The troglodytic fortified house is a unique and astonishing site. Our ancestors already occupied the site 20,000 years ago, then a refuge was built in the rock with underground and overhead rooms, and finally a castle with a hall of honor, weapons room, bedroom, salon, chapel... and also a dungeon and oubliettes. This fortification features defensive elements as well as decorative aspects, such as the furniture on display in the Countess's bedroom and the grand salon. Permanent exhibition on inquisition and torture in the Middle Ages.

Petit bémol : la visite du musée de la torture est vraiment déconseillée aux ames sensibles. Ma mère et moi e sommes ressorties le moral dans les chaussettes, déprimées de voir à quel point l'être humain peut utiliser son imagination à mauvais escient.
Meublé d'époque, il est resté en excellent état et propose en outre une exposition d'objets préhistoriques, armes, outils et instruments de torture.
A faire.
