Detail InformationEdit

The Chateau de Barbezieux is a castle situated in the commune of Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire, in the Charente departement of France. It dates from 1453, though an earlier castle, of which no trace remains, stood on the site from the early 11th century. The castle has been listed since 1913 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
The present castle was built on the orders of Marguerite de La Rochefoucauld to provide work during a time of famine in 1453. Sold during the French Revolution, the south east corner was strengthened by the departement and used as a prison until 1820. In 1844, the castle was bought by the town which flattened part and restored the rest for a variety of uses.
Of the inner curtain, a fragment of the north wall survives along with the covered round walk, terminating to the east with a semi-cylindrical tower. The attached former barn and stable also survive, remodelled in 1845 as an Italian Theatre and cafe by the carpenter Jean-Baptiste Bontemps.
