Description: The construction of the castle of Fayrac, encircled with a double enclosure, began in XIIIth century.
It was an English forward position in the Hundred Years War, built to watch over Beynac, on the opposite bank, where the French were holed up.
There are two lodging houses: one of the end of the XVIth century, other one of the Renaissance with all slated pepper-pot towers.
A keep built in XIXth century is completing the edifice. It's unfortunately closed to the public. |
