The terrace of Château de Neuvic above the Isle
A textbook Périgord château of 1520–1530, Neuvic is built along the edge of a terrace above the river; its botanical park, photographed here, is not part of the record.

From the source
Château de Neuvic is a château at Neuvic, Dordogne, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The recorded building campaigns date from the 16th and 18th centuries. It is protected as a monument historique at the higher of the two levels (classé). Details are drawn from the Base Mérimée of the French Ministry of Culture.
Editorial reading
The record describes a large main block built on the edge of a terrace dominating the river, with a return wing and a stair pavilion between them, corbelled turrets at every angle, a wall-walk on machicolations at the second floor, and a spirit that is entirely Gothic despite some Renaissance detail; in the eighteenth century a chapel and a polygonal salon were added on the river wing. The façades and roofs were classified in 1952. The bamboo and botanical plantings of the park are documented only by the photograph.
