Château de Barbezieux stands in Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire (Charente), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 15th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire, this castle stands at the heart of the town, which it long protected as its principal stronghold. Most of what can be seen today dates from a rebuilding campaign around 1480, following the destruction of an earlier medieval castle during centuries of conflict. Only part of the original enclosure survives: a stretch of curtain wall with its covered watch-path, a round tower, and outbuildings that were reworked over time. The site later served, in turn, as a prison, a hospital and a theatre.
