Dordogne châteaux (2)

A mile or so north of the Château de Castelnaud and also on the Dordogne river, is the Château de Beynac, also built in the 12th century. The owners of Beynac and the owners of Castelnau were at war with each other for centuries, during the Hundred Years' War between England and France in the 1300s and 1400s.
