Le château en bref
Away from the roads, in a secluded setting in the canton of Montagrier, the château (manor house) of Peignefort raises its composite volumes amid the Périgord countryside. The present building, erected in the last quarter of the 19th century, replaced an older manor house dating back to the 17th century, whose history is linked to the La Garde de Valon, Robinet and later Dumont de Beaufort families. Its picturesque silhouette, marked by a turret with a conical roof flanking the south façade, results from the combination of several building blocks topped with varied roofs. The rubble-stone walls, roofed with slate and curved tiles, bear witness to a rustic yet carefully executed construction, typical of rural Périgord residences of the late 19th century.
