The site is distinguished by its typical architectural charm of the region (between Périgord noir and Quercy): A Romanesque church with a stocky bell tower and a sculpted portal. Ancient frescoes partially preserved inside the monument. An old mill (the Moulin de Saint-Avit), a testament to the historical hydraulic activity of the Lède valley, now converted into a charming domain for accommodation and events.

Today owned by the Dordogne department, the castle recognized as a Major Site in Aquitaine and classified as a Historic Monument! It presents a set of buildings whose diversity and superposition of styles still testify to the past power of this family of valiant soldiers and powerful lords, firmly introduced into the immediate entourage of the Kings.

This magnificent castle is open to visitors. In summer you will find many activities there, even including night markets within its walls. It is located on a hill and has defensive constructions. It is a fine example of a castle. Like most castles in France, numerous architectural transformations have taken place over the centuries. All year round, magnificent works of art are exhibited in the large rooms. One of the owners of this castle, Charles de Biron, met a rather tragic end because suspected of plotting against King Henry 4, he was beheaded in the courtyard of the Bastille prison castle in Paris in the 17th century.
