You're in for a treat if you head to this little gem, there's a tiny little village surrounding the castle which in itself is worth a little wonder around with a nice walk along the river. The castle is in 2 parts with a more traditional castle and a renaissance palace alongside with excellent views from all sides and a very helpful audio guide for €3 which can be shared amoung the group. Unfortunately the tower wasn't open when we went so we missed out on that but still very good. If you happen to be in this area I would also recommend the short drive to brantome.

We stopped by on our way to Perigueux and what a pleasant surprise this Chateau was. While we enjoyed the older part of the complex (and I agree that it was a bit disappointing that the tower was closed) it was the newer part and the wonderful rooms and furniture that were amazing. It provides a better idea of what similar rooms might have looked like long ago and really allows one to imagine the time period. It also has wonderful gardens to walk through and perfect views of the river and Mill from the upper floors. Well worth a few hours of your time!

Chateau de Bourdeilles is an interesting mix of the very old, old and recently old .... but it's sometimes difficult to tell the difference. The tour of the new Chateau was well presented, interesting, historic and at times, funny! But you couldn't sense the connection between the Chateau and the stories. It felt a bit like a mish-mash museum where a lot of the items were connected with a time period rather than the house, it's inhabitants or historic events. There was obviously a gaping hole in some of the history of the place so overall, it felt a little hollow. All in all, it's still an interesting day out and the scenery from the top of the keep is awesome.

Really boring it’s an empty lifeless place I wonder where the money of the entrance tickets goes ?? Also you will have to deal with 2 ridiculous staff employed at the desk look like there are there to annoy you ! And if you have a dog then forget about coming here they are not welcome ! Really disappointing place it’s a shame due to the history behind it , you better spend your money in the restaurant at the base of the chateaux you’ll have a better time !

Bourdeille - это комплекс из двух замков: средневекового, впервые упомянутого в записях аббатства Brantôme в 1183 году и построенного Жеро де Мольмоном (Géraud de Maulmont), и ренессансного дворца XVI-XVII вв. Средневековый замок был построен для монахов Брантомского монастыря в качестве убежища от разбойников. Интерьеры прекрасно сохранились, в музее представлена прекрасная коллекция мебели, а с донжона (1283г.) открывается чудесный вид на мост XIII века, мельницу и церковь. На гербе Бурдей изображены две лапы гриффона. Легенда повествует, что в IV веке у Атильды де Бурдей, дочери короля Англии и франкского короля Маркомера родилось семеро детей, три сына и четыре дочери. Сыновья были дружны и отважны, поэтому они отправились на кораблях на штурм галльской Аквитании. Шторм выюросил их корабль на таинственный остров в эстуарии Гаронны, где они встретили гриффонов и других мистических животных, вступили с ними в бой и погибли. Выжил лишь один из братьев: он отрубил гриффону лапы, которые и стали потом изображать на гербе семьи Бурдей. Во владении замка обширные ореховые сады и пасеки, поэтому в бутике при музее среди сувениров можно найти уникальные продукты собственного производства, в том числе чудесное ореховое вино, подобного которому мы нигде не встретили. Обратите внимание, что в музее есть обеденный перерыв.

Great access, including the Wine Cave in the basements. Visitors are free to roam with handheld electronic guides in many languages. The Castle is great to see and get good access to the structures, with a few furnished rooms. The later Palace alongside is well furnished and gives an impression of priveleged life in ancient times. Good views from the ramperts over the village and to the river below. English spoken at reception.
