Chateau de Bourdeilles, Bourdeilles
Medieval and Renaissance châteaux combined
This château is the combination of two castles, a medieval one dating to the 13th century and a Renaissance palace dating to the 16th century.
The first traces date back to a fortified town in 1183. For several centuries after that Bourdeilles castle went through many religious and political issues as it was torn between the Crowns of France and England.
The palace houses a prestigious collection of nearly 700 items which include tapestries, statues and furniture. There are great views of the town to be had from the top of the keep.
