The bishops of Périgueux built a fortified residence in Plazac in the 12th-13th century. Its donjon was transformed into a bell tower in the 17th century. Its chapel is now the village church. One wing of the residence has been preserved. [3]

During World War II, Plazac sheltered the residents of Bootzheim (Alsace) who were evacuated. [4]
