Château de Barbezieux

Highlight • Castle

The castle of Barbezieux, dominating the plain on the borders of Saintonge and Angoumois is, since the 10th century and throughout the Middle Ages, at the head of a powerful independent châtellenie at the heart of all the power struggles in the region.
Between the 11th and 13th centuries, attracted by the protection offered by its influential lords, a large population came to nestle at the foot of the walls. Thus was born the town of Barbezieux, commercial and prosperous at the crossroads of several traffic axes.
The end of the 15th century saw its revival thanks to the work of Marguerite de la Rochefoucauld, Lady of Barbezieux. It restores the stately home as well as various buildings in the farmyard. From this work campaign dates the current Archiac Gate and the theater.

Saint-Médard Church

Highlight • Other

5 km north of Barbezieux, we find this beautiful 13th century church in the small hamlet of Saint-Médard. From here, you can take the greenway to Clérac.

Saint-Pierre Church of Lagarde-sur-le-Né

Highlight • Religious Site

Superb Saint-Pierre church in Lagarde sur le Né, surrounded by fields. Built in the 12th century in the pure Romanesque style. The church is often open. Ideal for a cool ravito and a prayer break 🙏
