Château de Commarque
The Château de Commarque is a medieval hillside castle in the Vézère valley near Les Eyzies in Dordogne, France, sited on a rocky outcrop above the river La Beune. Founded in the 12th century and developed by the Beynac family, it comprises a tall stone keep, curtain walls and clustered domestic ranges. The site was abandoned in the 18th century and has been undergoing restoration since 1994.

The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a limestone outcrop above a valley, the castle is dominated by a tall rectangular stone keep with a crenellated parapet and machicolations, flanked by curtain walls that run along the hillside. Below the keep are terraces of ruined gabled domestic ranges and stone buttresses cut into the rock; a square outer tower stands upslope to the left. The masonry is warm yellow‑limestone, with rock-cut entrances and a stairway rising from the valley floor through an arched gate.
