Puyguilhem Castle
Not far from Brantôme in Périgord, Château de Puyguilhem reveals its elegant silhouette topped with high sculpted dormer windows. Its large mullioned windows, its two stair towers leading to the main building and its richly decorated upper sections (shells, fleurons, balusters, emblems, etc.) give it the charm of fine Renaissance homes. The grand staircase with its remarkable vaulted ceilings leads to the main hall, with its monumental fireplace decorated with the labours of Hercules. The château now houses a wealth of furniture and tapestries dating from the 16th to 18th centuries.
