# Château de Barbezieux

Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire, Charente, Nouvelle-Aquitaine

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.

**Practical details not verified yet.** We know this château and where it is, but we have not yet checked its opening hours or prices at the source. We would rather tell you than display something we are unsure of.
