9 Land of 1001 castles The Dordogne features an impressive built heritage: Romanesque churches, farms, wine estates, manors and of course the ‘1001 castles’ that the Dordogne is known for. These show an incredible diversity due to the successive periods of their construction, destruction and restoration: their very walls tell of war and peace. Perched high above the Dordogne Valley, Beynac castle conceals splendid fortified dwellings that face off with Castelnaud castle’s stout towers. Bourdeilles castle represents two very different periods, including a feudal fortress and a Renaissance pleasure castle with a marvellous collection of period furniture. Don’t miss Les Milandes, a castle that belonged to Josephine Baker and Jo Bouillon; Hautefort castle, surrounded by classical French-style gardens; Monbazillac castle, in the heart of the vineyards… And the list goes on.
