Château de la Beylie

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de la Beylie, at Château-l'Évêque in the Dordogne, was the fief of the Montardit family, of whom Jean de Montardit was among the Catholic captains during the recapture of Périgueux from the Calvinists in 1581; the family remained there until 1713, after which the estate passed to the Jehan family. According to local tradition, a tower and a fireplace from the château were dismantled and shipped to the United States (Texas or Connecticut). Privately owned, it is not open to visitors.
