Tips

This magnificent castle is open to visitors. In summer you will find many activities there, even including night markets within its walls. It is located on a hill and has defensive constructions. It is a fine example of a castle.

Like most castles in France, numerous architectural transformations have taken place over the centuries. All year round, magnificent works of art are exhibited in the large rooms. One of the owners of this castle, Charles de Biron, met a rather tragic end because suspected of plotting against King Henry 4, he was beheaded in the courtyard of the Bastille prison castle in Paris in the 17th century.

Classified as 'Site Majeur d'Aquitaine' (one of the main sites of Aquitaine), Biron castle is the seat of one of the four 'baronies' of the Périgord. Over time and through various events, this originally primitive fortress has undergone several changes. Each century has left its mark on the appeal of this exceptional architectural ensemble. Located on a hill, on the border of the Périgord and the Agenais, the castle was the heart of a large area of 'serf' agriculture (agricultural exploitation in which part of the harvest went to the baron and part remained the property of the farmer ). Animations for the whole family, during school holidays. Treasure hunt for the kids. Evening market in July and August. Exhibition of modern art throughout the year.

Castle entrance is on top of a hill and has a beautiful terrace in the castle too
The all-round visibility is very far in good weather.
