Eyrenville is a former French commune with the last 219 inhabitants (1968) in the department of Dordogne in the region Nouvelle-Aquitaine (before 2016: Aquitaine ).

By resolution after the referendum on January 17, 2010, the merger was transformed into a simple merger of the three communes associées , in which the former municipalities were integrated into Plaisance.

On all sides of the chancel there are coats of arms of the Seigneurs der Grèze, who had this privilege since the 16th century.

La Grèze Castle
To the west of the center of Eyrenville is the castle on a hill above the Banège valley . It served as an outpost for Issigeac, who was to watch over the small valley. Only a chapel from the 15th century with a polygonal stair tower remains of the original structure . A new residential wing was built in the 17th century. It has two relatively narrow side wings with high mansard roofs . The rear facade shows traces of two low side wings, which connected to the pavilions at the back to form an entrance courtyard. At the southern entrance portal , under a pointed arch, there is a side door with the coat of arms of the Juge de la Grèze family. A polygonal dovecote also belongs to the palace complex, which is privately owned and cannot be visited.
