Description: The Ch?teau de Commarque was founded during the 12th century, or possibly slightly prior to it, upon the request of the abbots of Sarlat. At this time the Ch?teau de Commarque was only a wooden tower, and its primary concerns were to discourage the ambitions of the Beynac family and to insure the safety of the valley.
