Bourgon castle stands in Valence, in the Charente department, its main building flanked by two round towers and a polygonal stair tower with a Gothic-style doorway. A 16th-century chapel with ribbed vaulting and a Renaissance door is worth noting, along with a vaulted cellar older than the rest of the building.
