Chateau de Puyguilhem is near Villars in the northern part of the Dordogne department (north-east of Brantome and west of Saint-Jean-de-Cole).

The castle is in a lovely setting, with the open valley in front and oak forests behind.

Built in the 16th century (on the site of an earlier castle) Puyguilhem is a fine Renaissance castle, with a spiral staircase, steep rooves and splendid fireplaces. It is said to be the Dordogne chateau that is most similar in style to those in the Loire Valley.

After falling into severe disrepair, large scale restoration began after the Second World War, and the chateau is now alive once again with the tapestries and furnishings of the period.

Sadly the lake that was once in the valley below the Chateau de Puyguilhem is there no more - but the views down the valley from the chateau remain very attractive all the same.

Chateau Puyguilhem is a listed Historic Monument in France - see Chateau Puyguilhem visitor information for details and opening times.
