Château de Salignac stands in Salignac-Eyvigues (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, 16th century). Adult admission costs 9.9 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Set on a rocky spur above the village of Salignac-Eyvigues, this Périgord Noir castle bears the marks of a turbulent past: damaged during the Hundred Years' War, it was rebuilt in the 16th century by the Salignac family. Visitors can see a double defensive wall, towers and turrets, along with a Romanesque chapel dating from the 12th century. What sets the site apart is an ongoing restoration carried out in full view, so guests walk through rooms still being brought back to life rather than a finished stage set.
