Castelnaud castle stands beautiful, majestic and solid over the Dordogne river and valley.
Its construction started in the 12th century, but it was destroyed, rebuilt and added to several times over the years and centuries.
During the Hundred Years' War the château exchanged hands between the English and the French no fewer than seven times! The castle this became a good emblem of the dangers and defenses of the times. It was so fortified that it became uncomfortable to live in! Today, it is a museum of the wars and gunnery of the Middle Ages.
There are virtually no windows! And it has walls all around it.
All types of war machineries are displayed.
