The Château de Jumilhac is classified as a historic monument and features spectacular roofs with allegorically decorated roof finials, which are considered unique in France.
Culture
The Château de Jumilhac offers self-guided or guided tours, including a visit to the gardens.
The visit includes historic rooms with wood panelling and furniture from bygone eras, painted canvases, a famous copper kitchen collection, the legend of “La Fileuse” about Louise de Hautefort, and renovated terrace gardens themed around gold and alchemy.
The Château de Jumilhac is located along the signposted Richard the Lionheart route, a historic trail through Charente, Haute-Vienne, Dordogne and Corrèze.
The Eglise Saint-Pierre-Es-Lien stands directly next to the Château de Jumilhac. It dates from the 12th and 14th centuries and contains 17th-century wall paintings.
The Pont de la Tour is a medieval structure classified as a historic monument, with three arches, and still serves as a crossing between Limousin and Périgord.
