Bridoire Castle

Bridoire Castle, west side

At the site of today's castle there was an oppidum in Roman times in the far northwest of today's municipality at the confluence of the Gardonnette and Grimoudou rivers. It protected the river crossing of the Roman road via Rubana , which connected today's Cadouin with today's Gardonne . The castle was built before the 12th century. During the Hundred Years War it served as the seat of looters. During the Huguenot Wars, the castle was first occupied by the Protestant party before it was besieged and taken by the troops of Blaise de Montesquiou in 1570 . The castle was rebuilt under the French King Henry IV before it was again besieged and razed on the orders of Bernard de Nogaret de La Valette d'Épernon . The castle was subsequently restored in 1890. The Foucauld family lived there from 1806 to 1938. The most famous member of this family, Charles de Foucauld , stayed here many times. The castle was sold and saved from falling apart.

The castle is built on a ledge. The north, west and south sides are protected by the crag. On the east side, a moat separates the castle from the plateau, which was crossed by a drawbridge . A crenellated bulge in the castle wall forms a kind of gate castle . In the 16th century the drawbridge was replaced by a solid stone bridge with an arch. The gate castle opens onto an inner courtyard, which is closed off by a wall with a battlement . The community buildings are located in the south between the Turburg and the square corner tower. The lock itself consists of two L-shaped leaves. Four round towers with machicolations line the ends of the building and a massive round tower is in the corner. All towers are equipped with a small stair tower as a bay window or starting from the ground. There are fountains with iron structures in the courtyard. Just outside, a square dovecote with a wooden body was built on nine stone pillars. The castle with its outbuildings has been classified as a Monument historique since July 31, 1992 and has been inscribed since September 19, 2013. It can be viewed from Easter to the beginning of November. The area of ​​the estate is 40 hectares.
