Collonges-la-Rouge Village

Highlight • Settlement

A magnificent old town in which buildings are made with local red stone. The town is known as the city of the 25 towers. Lots of craftsmen, restaurants, shops... A bit crowded, but very pleasant to walk around the small streets looking at the turrets, doors, old constructions...

Maison de la Sirene

Highlight • Other

The Maison de la Sirène is not very big, but offers a beautiful documentation of memories and furniture from the Middle Ages.

Text panels tell the story of the house and its preservation.

The house takes its name from the stone siren above the entrance, a hybrid creature from Greek mythology, half human, half fish.

Benge Castle

Highlight • Other

The Château de Benge, located in Collonges-la-Rouge, is a French historical monument that bears witness to Renaissance and modern architecture. This castle is distinguished by its main building with a 16th-century turret and a 17th- or 18th-century wing covered with a Mansard roof. It also has remains of corbels from old machicolations, recalling its defensive past. Listed as a historical monument, the Château de Benge is a characteristic example of stately homes that had to ensure their security through defensive works. Its pepperpot tower is adorned with a graceful Renaissance window, and it is mentioned that the lords of Benge reigned over the famous Collonges vineyard, until its destruction by phylloxera. Today, this castle is part of the region's rich heritage and contributes to the history and culture of New Aquitaine.
