Some history first...
Molières, an English bastide, was founded in 1284 by Jean DE GRAILLY, Seneschal of the King of England. It was never completed and was not exposed to urban expansion like that of Monpazier. In 1316, Guilhem (William) of Toulouse, Seneschal of Périgord for Edward II of England, chose Molières as his power base and decided to build a castle here, which was also never completed. The town, ravaged by the Hundred Years’ War, was rebuilt afterwards only to be destroyed again during the ferocious battles of the Wars of Religion.
