The Château des Bories stands in Antonne-et-Trigonant, in the Dordogne, begun in 1497 and finished over a century later, at the turning point between late Gothic and Renaissance styles. Its defensive architecture remains intact, with machicolated towers, moats, a drawbridge and a fortified courtyard forming an unusually complete ensemble for its period. Notable features include the monumental staircase set within a square tower, regarded as an early model for the grand French staircases of the following century, and the guard room covered by a vault with radiating ribs recalling late Gothic church design.
