About the project

THE SECRETS OF THE MEDIEVAL GARDEN

📝 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 revolution and the evictions of the noble families of the site, the castle would 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 them that you will have the opportunity to create a medieval garden between the "castrum superius" and the "castrum inferius" and to strengthen them. You will also have the opportunity to discover with this association, which is passionate about history, how we cooked in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. You will also articipate in costumed entertainment times and visits in the Dordogne, land of gastronomy and history.

💼 What the programme involves

You will be in charge of the creation of a medieval square, a typical garden of the monasteries and the herbalists of this period. You will have the opportunity to take care of the clearing and the earthwork of the green theater space.
