The name in the Occitan language is Borniquèl and goes back to the name of the Frankish queen Brunichild .

Bourniquel is located in the catchment area of ​​the Dordogne river . The Roumaguet, a tributary of the Couze , largely marks the border with the neighboring municipalities of Beaumontois en Périgord and Saint-Avit-Sénieur to the south.

history

The discovery of numerous prehistoric tools prove an early settlement of the area. The attractive geographical location on a range of hills that separate the Dordogne and Roumaguet valleys certainly contributed to this. The people of Solutréen (24,000–18,000 BC) and Magdalenian (18,000–12,000 BC) left behind a large number of tools and art objects that were brought to light at two important sites in the area of ​​the municipality. The majority of artifacts these days are split between different museums. There are also two burial mounds near the hamlet of Pujol , one of which hid a skeleton that was brought to light in 1883.

Attractions

Parish Church of Sainte-Madeleine

The church, consecrated to Maria Magdalena , was built in the 12th century in the Romanesque style. Traces of four square pillars and internal buttresses allow the conclusion that there was once a dome over the last yoke in front of the apse , which was originally provided with blind arcades . Reddened stones reveal that the building was set on fire during the time of the Cathars or during the Huguenot Wars . A contract from 1781 documents the implementation of extensive construction work, renewal of the roof structure , opening of two windows in the southern wall, cladding of the ceiling with fir wood and erection of the bell gable , as evidenced by the year "1781", which is engraved in the western facade is. A drawing by Léo Drouyn from 1846 shows the church as a ruin. It documents the restoration of the church in the middle of the 19th century. The entrance portal , the sacristy and the side chapels were rebuilt in 1848, as the corresponding year above the entrance portal shows, which is no longer legible today. At the same time, the south-west corner of the south-west corner and its thick buttress with a water nose was raised to about a meter in front of the small south entrance to the nave . The ribbed vault in the southwest corner of the nave is also the result of a modern redesign.

Cardoux Castle

At least the basic structure of today's castle dates from the 14th century. The property was redesigned in the 15th century. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the castle underwent extensive restoration work and a conversion from a military structure to a place of relaxation and summer retreat. The castle chapel in particular was built in the 19th century. The Feytou family owned the fief in the 14th century , followed by the Beaudet family. They had the right to fish on the Dordogne and designed their coat of arms with three silver fishing hooks on a red background. Under the rule of the French King Louis XV. the castle came into the hands of the Saint-Exupéry family. A member of this family was born here in 1775. He was a knight of the Order of Malta and a naval officer and fell at Abukir . The castle is still owned by the Saint-Exupéry family, whose most famous member was Antoine de Saint-Exupéry . A Lebanon cedar grows in the castle garden , which was undoubtedly planted a short time after Bernard de Jussieu introduced this tree species to France . The cedar is one of the most remarkable trees in France.
