The ChEteau de Bruzac has been a co-castle for centuries. Indeed, since the 13th century, it has been the seat of a co-lordship following a complicated succession. It was so complex that until the Revolution, it remained separated into two residential areas within the same fortified enclosure, despite various occupations, wars, and revolts. After the Revolution and the eviction of the noble families, the castle served as a quarry for the inhabitants of the village of Saint-Pierre-de-CEle and surroundingFor about thirty years, it has belonged to a couple of history enthusiasts and is managed and promoted by the local association "Renaissance du Vieux Bruzac."
