            Château des Bernardières à Champeaux-et-la-Chapelle-Pommier

Le château Les Bernardières (ou des Bernardières) a été construit au 12ème siècle, surplombant une route commerciale qui longeait la vallée de la Nizonne.
Il est fortifié sur un plan défensif au XIVème, durant la guerre de Cent ans, afin de se protéger des anglais qui revendiquent l'Aquitaine. 
C'est ici, en 1377, que Bertrand du Guesclin bat les troupes Anglaises. 

Au XVIème siècle, Antoine d'Authon, seigneur des Bernardières, après avoir vendu son château, arme un navire en 1518. Dabord corsaire, il termine en 1546 comme pacha d'Alger et amiral de la flotte ottomane sous le nom de Barberousse II . 
Reconstruit au XVIIe siècle, le château Les Bernardières, évolue progressivement en demeure de style Renaissance.


Château Les Bernardières (or des Bernardières) was built in the 12th century, overlooking a trade route that ran along the Nizonne valley.
It was fortified on a defensive level in the 14th century, during the Hundred Years War, in order to protect itself from the English who claimed Aquitaine.
It was here, in 1377, that Bertrand du Guesclin defeated the English troops.

In the 16th century, Antoine d'Authon, lord of Bernardières, after having sold his castle,armed a ship in 1518. First privateer, he finished in 1546 as pasha of Algiers and admiral of the Ottoman fleet under the name of Barbarossa II.
Rebuilt in the 17th century, the Château Les Bernardières gradually evolved into a Renaissance-style residence.
