The Château de Puyguilhem, a historic monument to discover in Périgord
Imagine going back in time and living in a 16th century court castle... Open your eyes, you have arrived at Puyguilhem Castle! Just 20 minutes from Brantôme and 40 minutes from Périgueux, this magnificent Renaissance residence rises elegantly above the vast 3-hectare park where there is a dovecote, groves, statues and a boxwood labyrinth.
Enter a place with rich histories that spans the centuries without losing its nobility with meticulous decorations, detailed sculptures and a grand staircase with remarkable vaults. Climb the steps and enter the hall of honor, a monumental fireplace presents 6 of the 12 labors of Hercules, a remarkable piece not to be missed.
Take the time to admire the tapestries and furniture dating from the 16th to the 18th century, a rich collection representing 4 continents. Guided tour, self-guided tour or family meeting, book the time you prefer to discover the Château de Puyguilhem.
