See all castles in FranceChâteau de Berbiguières stands in the village of Berbiguières, France.
The site first appears in written records during the latter half of the 1200s, when it belonged to the Castelnau family and was associated with the nearby castle of Castelnaud. In 1273 the property was held by the sons and nephews of Aymeric de Castelnau. Aymeric himself had sworn fealty to King Louis IX in 1240, and his relatives are recorded as the castle’s proprietors in the late 13th century.
In 1365 a marriage transferred control of the estate when Magne de Castelnau took Nompar de Caumont as her husband and brought him what contemporary documents call the two Périgord castles. At that time the castellany administered from Berbiguières included the parishes of Allas, Berbiguières, Cladeck, Carves, Saint-Germain and Marnac.
The site received official historic recognition in the 20th century, when it was placed on the national list of protected monuments on 6 December 1948.
Condition
The place is identified in records and heritage registers as a medieval castle situated within the village layout. Documentary references tie the building to the later 13th century, so the surviving structure and its footprint are associated with the medieval period reflected in those texts.
As recorded, the site functions as a château and has been formally protected as a historic monument since 6 December 1948. This designation is the documented status that accompanies the surviving fabric and the site’s place in the local landscape; other detailed descriptions of individual architectural elements, construction materials, or later alterations are not specified in the available account.
