Château de Bouteville stands in Bouteville (Charente), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 16th century, first quarter of the 17th century). Adult admission costs 9 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
The château de Bouteville stands as a ruin overlooking the Charente valley, a remnant of what was once one of the region's most powerful lordships in the late Middle Ages. Visitors find a large courtyard framed by partly collapsed buildings, with a tower and a turret still marking two of its corners. Carved decoration survives on parts of the façades, particularly around some of the remaining windows, dating from a rebuilding campaign at the end of the 16th century.
