Château de Biron, Medieval castle in Périgord, France

The stone fortress spans multiple architectural periods with a 12th-century keep, 16th-century living quarters, a chapel, and large vaulted kitchens.

The castle belonged to the Gontaut-Biron family from the 11th century until 1938, when financial difficulties forced the Marquis to sell it to the commune.

The castle functions as a major art exhibition venue in Dordogne, presenting regular shows and hosting the Les Villégiatures music festival throughout the year.

Located 45 minutes from Bergerac by car, the castle opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00 with guided tours and combined tickets for visiting nearby Cadouin cloister.

Two medieval sculptures from the seigniorial chapel were sold to J.P. Morgan in 1907 and are now displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
