Château de Frugie stands in Saint-Pierre-de-Frugie (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In the Périgord vert area, at Saint-Pierre-de-Frugie, this privately owned château preserves half of what was once a fortified quadrangle. On one side stands the residential wing, flanked by two massive towers and topped with machicolations; on the other, ivy-covered ruins and a collapsed chapel border a dry moat. The current structure, rebuilt in the 15th and 16th centuries on the remains of a medieval stronghold destroyed during the Hundred Years' War, still bears a 17th-century gateway added after the drawbridge was removed.

What to know

The château is privately owned, which limits visiting conditions.
The building stands about a hundred metres from the parish church of Saint-Pierre-de-Frugie, in the Dordogne department.
Only the facades and roof have been listed as a historic monument since 1968.
Part of the site lies in ruins, overgrown with ivy, so caution is needed when approaching.
No opening hours or admission fees are currently published.
