Origin and history

The enclosure and the monument of the Grilloux, located in Saint-Popont in the Dordogne department (Nouvelle-Aquitaine), form an architectural ensemble inscribed in the inventory of the Historical Monuments. This site, identified under the cadastral reference AI 138, was officially protected by order of 17 June 1980 attesting to its heritage interest. Its exact address, 141 In Costeraste, places the monument in a rural environment, typical of the historical buildings of this region.

The location of the monument, noted as fair (level 5/10) in the databases, suggests an approximate geographical identification, without extreme precision. Although available sources (Monumentum, Merimée base) do not detail its original use or its precise history, its inscription demonstrates a desire to preserve a distinctive local heritage. The commune of Saint-Popont, attached to the district of Périgueux, is part of a territory marked by a rich medieval and rural heritage, where this type of structure could play a defensive, symbolic or community role.

No additional information is provided on construction periods, sponsors or historical events related to this site. The data are limited to its legal status, its administrative location and its geographical framework, inviting further research to grasp its historical and architectural dimension.
