Château de Clérans

The Château de Clérans is a castle in the commune of Cause-de-Clérans in the Dordogne département of France.

It is private property, open to the public on European Heritage Days.

[1] An earlier castle on the site was burned by Raymond I of Turenne around 1100.

[1] During the Hundred Years' War, it changed hands several times between the English and the French,[1] notably in 1378 when it was taken by Bertrand Du Guesclin.

The dwellings, the two towers, the châtelet and the medieval ramparts,[4] the high keep and a split enceinte, are preserved in state of ruins, except for a chapel fitted out as housing.
