The citadel of Bourg overlooks the Dordogne. You can still see the facade of the old 18th century charterhouse that was built there, as well as a view of the river.

The Citadel of Bourg museum allows you to discover an impressive network of underground passages as well as a collection of horse-drawn carriages. Open daily between June and September.

Bourg-sur-Gironde Citadel

Highlight • Other

On the site of the present house, several buildings have been erected: a Gallo-Roman villa, a medieval castle, a citadel built in the late 16th century by the Duke of Epernon, and finally this classic Carthusian monastery built in 1723 by the Denis de Lansac family The Bourquais call the "Citadel" today. This estate then belongs to the family of Broglie and end of the 18th century Jérôme-Marie Champion of Cicé, Archbishop of Bordeaux. The main building has only one level, topped by a parapet that hides the roof. In 1940, the Germans settled there and lived there during the entire occupation. In 1944 they set fire to the building, of which only the outer walls of the 18th century are preserved. The castle was rebuilt almost identically in 1964. Various events take place in this prestigious location.

Saint-Géronce Church

Highlight • Religious Site

This neo-Gothic church was built to replace the dilapidated church of the Recollet Fathers, a convent for men founded in 1627. In the 19th century, the church wanted to encourage a revival of Catholic worship; it spurred the construction of new religious buildings in Gironde. This is how in 1856 the Saint-Géronce church was consecrated. For lack of space, his bedside was oriented to the south contrary to what the liturgy provided for. The organ, which has its original invoice from 1861, is remarkable. Mass is celebrated there every Sunday morning at 10:00 am. cirkwi.com/fr/point-interet/265182-eglise-saint-geronce
