Château de Tayac

The Château de Tayac is a castle in the commune of Les Eyzies-de-Tayac-Sireuil in the Dordogne département of France.

This platform was occupied in prehistoric times; Magdelanian and Azilian artifacts have been found.

During the course of the Hundred Years' War, it was held alternately by the English and the French, suffering successive sieges.

In 1606, the king ordered the castle's demolition, undoubtedly following the execution of Jean Guy de Beynac who had been implicated in the Duke of Bouillon's conspiracy.

The corps de logis, parallel to the cliff, has a turret in its south west corner supported by corbels.
