Chateau de Bourdeilles - Dordogne
Visit Chateau de Bourdeilles
The village of Bourdeilles is an attractive village next to the river to the south-east of Brantome, and is dominated by its chateax - or rather its chateaux.
There are two parts to the Chateau de Bourdeilles:
- a sturdy fortress dating back to the 13th century, constructed on a rocky spur and dominated by an octagonal keep, and a
- renaissance castle (the part designed by Jacquett de Montbron) with richly furnished rooms such as the sumptuous 'Salon Doré with a beautiful painted ceiling. There is a prestigious collection of furniture including the gilt Spanish bed of Charles V.
One striking feature of this castle is that it was designed by a woman, Jacquett de Montbron.
