Brégère Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Château de la Brégère, the centerpiece of a former agricultural estate, is a fortified house (15th century), located 7 km from Saint-Yrieix. Its appearance and its defensive elements: keep, watchtowers, gun loops, perfectly illustrate the history of a modest Limousin seigniorial dynasty.
During the summer, the castle hosts exhibitions of artists.
