Castle on a peninsula in Lanobre, the tympanum of the entrance door bears a bas-relief with the arms of the Estaing family.
The building we see today was built in the 15th century on the foundations of a 13th-century fortress overlooking the Dordogne. Since the construction of the dam in 1951, the château has stood on a peninsula, evoking a certain similarity with the land of Scotland. Val consists of a main building flanked by six towers topped with pepper-pots. The tympanum of the entrance door is adorned with a bas-relief depicting the coat of arms of the d'Estaing family. In the film Le Capitan, Jean Marais climbs one of the towers. The château is illuminated on summer evenings.
