This building, in the heart of Angoulême, was formerly a castle and provincial residence and was transformed into a town hall from 1858 to 1869.
It is built on the site where the castle of the Counts of Angoulême once stood. Two towers of the old castle have been incorporated into the building. It now contains museums of art and archaeology.

The (third) cathedral was built at the time of Bishop Grimoard, abbot of Saint-Pierre de Brantôme. This church was consecrated in the year 1017.
The construction of a replacement church was started around 1110; it was expanded, partially destroyed, and restored over time, adding the two towers.
The west facade is decorated with more than 70 sculptures, depicting many images of everyday life.
