history
In the 12th century Bouniagues was the seat of an archpriesthood with 59 parishes , which was under the diocese of Sarlat . Many families, including the Solminihacs and de Saint-Ours, followed at the top of manorial each other. As a result, the village gradually developed, in particular through the manufacture of roof tiles. As early as 1610, a small production of roof and wall tiles was mentioned. The convenient location on the Route Royale , which led from Paris to Madrid , favored sales.

Attractions
Parish Church of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption
The church, consecrated in honor of Mary's Assumption into Heaven , was built in 1882 in neo-Gothic style according to plans by the architect Robertien de Bergerac . The mayor Martial Delpit gave the church a stained glass window depicting Alain de Solminihac (1593–1659), Bishop of Cahors from 1637.
Bouniagues Castle
It is a permanent house that was built in the 15th century. Around 1875 the mayor of the parish Martial Delpit de Castang bought the property and gave half of it back to the parish in order to set up a rectory there. This occupies the western part of the manor house, which has been reduced by one storey. A polygonal stair tower accentuates the central part of the building. At its foot there is an ogival entrance to an anteroom. A coat of arms can be seen above the lintel , held by two mythical animals that are reminiscent of bears, perhaps reminiscent of the de Saint-Ours family (“Ours” (French) corresponds to “bear” (German)), who when Seigneurs von Bouniagues lived here around 1790. Pierre De Saint-Ours was betrayed by one of his servants during the French Revolution in 1793 and shackled and gagged while he was sleeping. After looting the castle, the Bergerac Revolutionary Tribunal henchmen put him, his wife, and eight children on a cart. The train almost reached Bergerac when the farmers of Bouniagues, armed with rifles, spears and scythes, freed the family, who were able to return to their castle and henceforth unmolested. The rectory is now owned by a private person. The Renaissance style entrance has been inscribed as a Monument historique since January 27, 1948 .
