History and Architecture
Gourdon has medieval origins with its castrum built on a rocky outcrop and prehistoric roots dating back to the Upper Paleolithic, including the nearby Cougnac caves. This area is part of the Quercy region, known for its elevated houses called “Ostal.” Typical of the 17th century, these homes feature stone stairways, sheltered terraces, traditional pitched roofs, and dormer windows. Round oculus windows, a distinctive feature of the period, were originally used to reduce the lighting tax.
