In Migron, in the Charente-Maritime region, Château-Couvert stands on a moated platform laid out in a U shape, descended from a 13th century defensive tower that once guarded the surrounding marshland. Several building periods can be traced here: a square tower and spiral staircase from the 15th century in the eastern corner, Renaissance arcading now walled up, and late 18th century reception rooms reached by a stone staircase with a wrought iron banister dated 1774. The courtyard, balustrades and gate piers complete this ensemble, listed as a historic monument.
