The château d'Ars stands in the commune of the same name in the Charente region, close to Cognac. Built mainly in the second half of the 16th century on the site of an older castle mound surrounded by moats, it features two wings set at a right angle, with carved façades, corner turrets and tall dormer windows. Held for centuries by a single family, it still contains a spiral staircase, stone and wood fireplaces, and an old timber roof frame.
