📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The Château de Bruzac has been a co-castle for centuries. Indeed, since the 13th century, it has been the seat of a co-lordship following a complicated succession. So complex that until the revolution, it remained separated into two sets of habitats within the same fortified enclosure despite the various occupations, wars and revolts. After the French Revolution and the evictions of the noble families of the site, the castle will serve as a career for the inhabitants of the village of Saint Pierre de Côle and the surrounding farms. For about thirty years, it has belonged to a couple of History enthusiasts and is managed and promoted by the local association "Renaissance du Vieux Bruzac". It is with its members that you will have the opportunity to create a medieval garden between the "castrum superius" and the "castrum inferius" and to strengthen them.
With this History-loving association, you will also have the opportunity to discover how we cooked in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, to participate in costumed entertainment times and to visit the Dordogne, land of gastronomy and history.
