Château de Mayrac, overview from the south

The Château de Mayrac is a castle dating from the second half of the 15th century in the commune of Mayrac in the Lot département of France.[1]

The castle comprises two corps de logis at right angles, linked by a round tower. The entrance is in the base of the tower, with profiled uprights resting on prismatic bases. The door is surmounted by an ogee and a pediment decorated with florets, accompanied on each side with pilasters. The castle's rooms are furnished with stone chimney places.[1]

The Château de Mayrac is privately owned and is not open to the public. It has been listed since 1979 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.[1]
