Origin and history
The Château du Bourg, located in the commune of Châteaudouble (Drôme), is a monument dating back to the 4th quarter of the 16th century, with extensions and modifications made in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. This castle is distinguished by its painted and unpainted decorations, protected since its partial classification as Historic Monument. The commons, dated the 4th quarter of the 17th century, are also included in the additional inventory, testifying to the architectural evolution of the estate over centuries.
The legal protection of the Château du Bourg is structured around two decrees: the facades, roofs and the entrance gate of the communes were inscribed by decree of 19 June 1959, while the castle in its entirety, including all its interior decorations, was classified on 8 September 1988. These measures highlight the heritage value of the site, both for its architecture and its decorative elements, reflecting the styles and techniques of successive eras.
Located at 315 Route de Peyrus, the castle enjoys a geolocation with an accuracy estimated at 6/10 according to the Merimée data. Although the practical information (visits, accommodation) is not detailed in the available sources, its status as a Historic Monument makes it a potentially open site for cultural or tourist use, subject to confirmation from local managers.
