La tour de Chavagnac

This watch and defence tower, with its 14th century military architecture, is the only remnant of a former feudal castle. It commanded the passage of the roads to Terrasson and from Brive to Sarlat. From its top one could send signals towards the tower of Yssandon and the castle of Noailles in Corrèze. Plundered by the reitres around 1569 the castle of Chavagnac was destroyed by a fire before the Revolution, the roof of the tower disappeared in this fire as well as a large part of the church. 25 metres high, 8 metres wide, its stone walls are 1.60 metres thick. It has beautiful mullioned windows on three floors.
From the top of this building, on a clear day, it is said that you can see seven departments.
