Château de BIRON
Le premier château date probablement de l'an mille. Agrandi, fortifié au 13ème siècle, il prendra une part active dans la guerre de cent ans.
Au XVème siècle, il est embelli et devient une demeure très confortable.
En 1978 à la suite d'un incendie qui détruit les toitures, il est vendu au département de Dordogne qui va le faire restaurer et l'ouvrir au public.
The first castle probably dates from the year one thousand. Enlarged and fortified in the 13th century, it took an active part in the Hundred Years War.
In the 15th century, it was embellished and became a very comfortable residence.
In 1978, following a fire that destroyed the roofs, it was sold to the Dordogne department, which restored it and opened it to the public.
