Château de Ramefort

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Ramefort stands atop a rocky promontory in the hamlet of Valeuil, in the commune of Brantôme en Périgord, overlooking the road that follows the Dronne between Brantôme and Bourdeilles. Built from the 11th century onwards and then fortified in the 13th and 15th centuries, it had a curtain wall pierced with loopholes, three towers — demolished during the Revolution — and a gatehouse (châtelet d'entrée). The old wall of the keep, pierced by a trefoil window, still survives. In the 19th century, the outbuildings were rebuilt and given a colonnaded gallery. The château's façades and roofs have been listed (inscrits) as historic monuments since 1980.
