History
Château de Tiregand
The château played a key part during the Hundred Years War and France’s bitter Wars of Religion (1562-1598). It was here, in 1575, that two Huguenot (Protestant) captains, Jaure and La Palanque, shared out rich booty seized from Périgueux’s Roman Catholics – including a silver reliquary containing relics of Saint Front, the first Bishop of Périgueux.
In the 17th century, the château belonged to Jean de Belrieu, royal bailiff of the town of Bergerac.
A century later, it came through marriage into the hands of the d’Augeards, a family of parliamentarians. Jean-Charles d’Augeard de Virazeil, President of the High Court at Bordeaux, was the last Lord of Tiregand.
Count César-Alexandre de La Panouse bought the property in 1826 and carried out improvements. His son gave the house its present appearance around 1850. Carefully maintained by his descendants.
