Lantis Castle is located in the town of Dégagnac, in the Lot, 30 km northwest of Cahors.
It is located away from the village, in the hamlet of Lantis, near a cross which refers to a former priory served by the parish church of the village in the Middle Ages.
The castle initially consists of a simple fortified house mentioned in the 15th century. Then the building was remodeled and enlarged in the 17th and 18th centuries, with a dovecote on the outside and a unique star-shaped paving inside. Abandoned during the Renaissance, now carefully restored by new owners who have also restored its Renaissance-style doorway, the castle hosts receptions and exhibitions. Since 2017, a magnificent Renaissance garden made up of four boxwood parterres in the shape of a diamond point has highlighted the facade of the castle. In addition, a gîte has been set up in the old bread oven.
The site listed in the Inventory is open to visitors every day except Tuesday and Sunday from September to June and every day in July and August. Reservation recommended out of season. Price: 5 and 9 euros. Information on +33 5 65 41 11 47.
