Château de Lacapelle-Marival
LACAPELLE-MARIVAL , Lot – Cultural heritage
About
Classified as a historical monument in 1939, the castle was for 4 centuries the residence of the great Cardaillac family When visiting it, you will discover 15th century paintings, 17th century decorations (reproduction of Dutch prints on a French ceiling, grisailles evoking antiquity and celebrating the victories of the kings of France).Lacapelle-Marival castle was built in the late 13th C. by Géraud de Cardaillac, younger son of a powerful Haut-Quercy family, on the rich lands of one of the numerous parishes under the overlordship of the Cardaillacs. The keep, late in style and of large dimensions, was visibly altered in the 15th C. to increase both its level of comfort and its feudal symbolic value (sentry walk over machicolations, corner watch-towers). The lord’s apartments, far more spacious than the early keep, were begun in the middle of the 16th C. but completed in the 17th C.: the Cardaillacs, by now titled Marquis, then had the woodwork in various bedrooms decorated with allegorical paintings.
