Château de Castelnaud

Castelnaud Castle and Museum of Medieval Warfare

Not to be confused with Castelnau-Bretenoux Castle in the nearby Lot département, the Château de Castelnaud about 2 miles (3km) to the south and upstream of Beynac Château, is another splendid edifice constructed during the middle ages.

Castelnaud in the Black Périgord commands the Céou Valley to the south as well as the Dordogne Valley. Having been taken by Simon de Montfort in 1214 it became a valuable asset to the English during the Hundred Years’ War although it did fall into French hands occasionally.
