Chateau de Beynac is a medieval fortress located in the village of Beynac-et-Cazenac in the Dordogne department of southwestern France. The castle is perched on a cliff overlooking the Dordogne River and is one of the best-preserved examples of a medieval castle in the region.

The castle dates back to the 12th century, and over the centuries it has been owned by various noble families. It played a key role in the Hundred Years War between France and England, and was besieged by Richard the Lionheart in the 12th century and later by Simon de Montfort in the 13th century.

Today, the castle is open to visitors and offers guided tours in English and French. Visitors can explore the castle's ramparts, towers, and dungeons, and see the great hall, chapel, and living quarters. The castle also has a collection of weapons and armor on display.

In addition to its historical significance, Chateau de Beynac has also been featured in several films, including "The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc" and "Ever After: A Cinderella Story."
