Château de Salignac, Medieval fortress in Salignac-Eyvigues, France.
The stone castle stands on high ground between Brive la Gaillarde and Sarlat la Canéda, controlling the northern border of Périgord Noir region.
Built in 1040, the fortress served as a major stronghold during the Hundred Years War and maintained its military significance until the 15th century.
The castle hosts medieval reenactments with nobles, ladies, and troubadours performing activities that demonstrate life during the 13th century.
The castle opens daily from May 8 to September 29, 2024, between 10:30 AM and 6:30 PM, with adult tickets priced at 9 euros.
Since 2006, a father-son duo has undertaken the complete restoration of this millenary fortress, personally handling tasks from wall reconstruction to foundation work.
