Chateau de Biron
Near the beautiful bastide of Monpazier,
one of the four baronies of Périgord
classified as a Historical Monument Chateau de Biron
Biron stands at the frontier between Périgord and Agenais, i.e. a highly strategic position. Its history is directly linked to the great Gontaut-Biron family, the holder of the castle for eight hundred years.
Marked throughout the XIIth to XVIIIth centuries by all sorts of vicissitudes, this monumental building offers a XIIth century donjon, a two-storey chapel, Renaissance appartments, impressive vaulted kitchens, etc
An incredible juxtaposition of buildings is what makes Biron so exceptionnally attractive from an architectural point of view.
