Bouëx Castle

Highlight • Other

This feudal castle, built in the 15th and 16th centuries, has passed from family to family over the centuries. It is said that he had such an impressive orangery that it was sold in 1893 to the city of Bordeaux.

Grassac was the seat of an archpriest who had been given in 1097 by Bishop Adhémar to the Abbey of Bourgueuil which united it to its priory Notre-Dame de Beaulieu in Angoulême. The church was enlarged, after the damage of 1570, by a north aisle which was to be vaulted with ribs. The vault and various restoration works were undertaken in the 19th century. The plan of the building is that of an enlarged rectangle with a bay under a bell tower and an apse in the extension of the initial nave. This first nave supported by flat buttresses and a projecting buttress from the 17th century, is vaulted by a flat plaster cradle. The bay under the bell tower is vaulted with a stone dome on horns, pierced with a hole for the bell and decorated with a false sky.

12th century Romanesque church. The west facade has two buttresses rising to the top at its ends. Double buttresses correspond to the western pilasters of the dome and small ones are placed to the west of the nave, on the chapel and the apse. The rectangular bell tower has a first floor with arches, resting on a molded cordon. On another cordon, loaded with vertical billets, rises a second floor, the walls of which are pierced with rectangular openings. Inside, the nave has no vault. Its western and southern walls were dated back to the 17th century. Part of the pavement of the nave is made up of funerary slabs, bearing the representation of the working instruments of the deceased. A covered wooden chapel is supported to the north. It communicates with the nave by two wide arches. The false square, under the bell tower, carries a dome on horns, the departures of which rest on horizontal cords.

Among the rich heritage of the commune of Pranzac, there is the Saint-Cybard church and its Renaissance chapel whose pendant keystones are of a remarkable finish, listed in the inventory of historical monuments. Begun in the 12th century in the midst of Romanesque art, the church was enlarged in the 16th century, then restored in the 19th and 20th centuries.
An Italian organ found its place in the church in 2011, thanks to the will of the association "Les secrets de Pranzac", it comes to life thanks to the festival "Au gré des arts" organized each year.

Cylindrical column resting on four steps and ending in a plain cone, surmounted by a cross. A door opens above the second seat and gives access to the interior of the lantern. A small cornice, projecting from the top of the shaft and adorned with carved stars, separates the column from its ridge pierced with small windows.
