Château d'Agonac

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château d'Agonac, in the Dordogne, is the heir to an ancient episcopal fortress founded around 980 by Frotaire, Bishop of Périgueux, to defend the territory against Norman raids. Around this castrum, from the 12th to the 19th century, a succession of noble residences arose, belonging notably to the Chabans, Chamberlhac, Montardit and later Flamenc-Bruzac families, the last of which occupied the noble house of Dome until 1838. What survives today is part of the 12th-century keep and a vaulted hall with two naves covered by pointed barrel vaults, probably a former castle chapel, alongside a 17th-century manor house with a polygonal stair tower and an 18th-century residential building (logis). A private, unlisted property, the site is not open to visitors.
