Château de Montbron

The Château de Montbron, in the Charente, was built around 1480, soon after the Hundred Years' War, under the authority of Marguerite de Rohan, Countess of Angoulême. It was built with stones from the old feudal fortress and set within the walled town.

Over the centuries its surroundings changed, and today only a main building with a polygonal tower against it survives. The château and the two painted fireplaces in the first-floor rooms are protected as historic monuments. The renovated building is a fine setting for the exhibitions and events organised by the town.
