The Château de Calamane is a castle in the commune of Calamane in the Lot département of France. The castle was built at the end of the 15th century and was sold as a national property in 1796. It is formed of a quadrangular corps de logis flanked, on the north side, by two large cylindrical towers; the tops were removed during the French Revolution. The south side is flanked by a polygonal tower with a spiral staircase. The entrance doorway and the bay which opens above it, are framed with pinnacled pilasters and decorated with cabbages. Inside are chimney places and a plafond à la française (French-style ceiling: joists the same width as the spaces between them; see Plafond à la française in French Wikipedia). The Château de Calamane is privately owned. It has been listed since 1929 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture. Less
