Carved Door – Chateau de Castelnaud 13th Cen France
Historical Origin And Design Inspiration
The Chateau de Castelnaud is a medieval fortress in the commune of Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, overlooking the Dordogne River in Perigord, southern France. It was erected to face its rival, the Chateau de Beynac. The oldest documents mentioning it date to the 13th century, when it figured in the Albigensian Crusade; its Cathar castellan was Bernard de Casnac. Simon de Montfort took the castle and installed a garrison; when it was retaken by Bernard, he hanged them all. During the Hundred Years' War, the castellans of Castelnaud owed their allegiance to the Plantagenets, the sieurs de Beynac across the river, to the king of France. Today the picturesquely restored chateau, a private property.
