Château du Bourbet stands in Cherval (Dordogne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
The château du Bourbet stands in Cherval, in the Dordogne, built on the remains of a fortified manor raised by the lords of Bourbet in the 15th and 17th centuries. The building went through several changes up to the 20th century, losing its square towers, one pavilion and its defensive moat along the way. It bears the marks of an eventful past, from the French Revolution to the Second World War, when it served as a German kommandantur because of its closeness to the demarcation line.
