Château de Bourdeilles stands in Bourdeilles (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 15th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

At Bourdeilles, in the Dordogne, two castles stand side by side on the same rocky spur: a 13th-century fortress raised by Géraud de Maulmont, and a Renaissance palace built in the 16th century by Jacquette de Montbron, on the former site of the Bourdeille family's baronial castle. This rare pairing of two architectural periods on a single site is what makes a visit worthwhile. The whole complex is a listed historic monument.
