Chateau de Commarque is a fortified castle located in the Dordogne region of southwestern France. The castle dates back to the 12th century and is situated on a rocky outcropping overlooking the valley of the Beune River. The castle consists of several buildings, including a keep, a great hall, and a chapel.

During the Middle Ages, Chateau de Commarque served as an important strategic stronghold, protecting the surrounding area from attacks by rival lords and armies. Over the centuries, the castle was expanded and fortified, and various noble families made it their home.

In the 16th century, Chateau de Commarque was abandoned and fell into disrepair. It was rediscovered in the 20th century by archaeologists, who have been working to restore the castle to its former glory. Today, visitors can explore the castle and learn about its history and architecture.

In addition to the castle itself, the Chateau de Commarque site includes a number of other interesting features, such as a network of caves and a prehistoric rock shelter with ancient cave paintings. Visitors can also enjoy hiking trails and beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.
