Château du Chaylard

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château du Chaylard, more often written Cheylard, overlooks the town of Rouffignac from a high hill to the west, in the Périgord Noir. Its origins date back to the late Middle Ages (15th century), with building campaigns in the 16th and 19th centuries. It is linked to the Calvimont family, builders of the nearby Château de l'Herm: Jean de Calvimont, known as Prouillac, acquired it in the early 16th century, and Bardin de Calvimont is cited as its lord in the 16th century. The château is a private property and is not open to visitors.
