The Opusculaires, this is the Story, but also stories
The Opusculaires, this is the chance to relive History at the heart of a place millennium. It all started by meeting a visitor and a castle, which, after 30 years, opened at last her gates. A year later, the first Opusculaires were taking shape.
Since then, four years have passed, marked by new people just as valuable. Today, not one, but three Opusculaires that bring new life at the castle.
The Opusculaires are not simply the fruit of collaborations, but the result of rich exchanges with each troop, to grow together and to ensure that each installment exceeds the previous.
The Opusculaires Xvi : the start of the Renaissance
The last of the major works that have shaped the front of the castle and adapted the building to the artillery dated from the end of the Fifteenth century. The castle offers a historical context for the perfect Lothringen Landsknecht and Schwarze Landsknechte.
This event marks several important moments : the opening for the season in 2025, the first participation in the Castles-in-the Feast, and the inauguration of a room renovated with painted plaster wall, creating the decorations medieval missing.

The Opusculaires Thirteenth : in the beginning...
🕰 1209 : le Périgord sous tension
Alors que la Chrétienté s’apprête à frapper l’hérésie cathare, le Midi de la France entre dans une période de profondes turbulences. Le Périgord, en apparence à l’écart, est lui aussi gagné par les rivalités politiques, religieuses et féodales.
Au château de Salignac, une visite diplomatique majeure se prépare. Marguerite de Salignac revient dans sa demeure natale aux côtés de son époux, Maynard II de Beynac, seigneur de Commarque. Derrière cette venue familiale se cachent de lourds enjeux : la co-seigneurie de Salignac est minée par les conflits entre vassaux, ambitions rivales et querelles de terres et de droits.
Affaibli par ces divisions, Aimery de Salignac fait appel à l’influence et à la neutralité de son gendre pour tenter de restaurer l’ordre. Durant plusieurs jours, le château devient le théâtre de banquets, chasses, négociations et intrigues, où chaque chevalier cherche à renforcer sa position, parfois au détriment de l’autorité seigneuriale.
✨ Une immersion au cœur des jeux de pouvoir du XIIIᵉ siècle, entre faste, honneur et luttes d’influence feutrées.
📅 Rendez-vous les 23, 24 et 25 juillet
The Opusculaires Fifteenth
