Château de Crazannes stands in Crazannes (Charente-Maritime), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century, 17th century, second quarter of the 20th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Crazannes, in the Charente-Maritime region, this castle combines eleventh century remains, a keep and a Romanesque chapel, with a flamboyant residence built in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The north facade, pierced with finely carved doors and windows, leans against a round tower topped with a sharp pointed roof. A park of centuries old trees surrounds the buildings along the Charente river, and a seventeenth century dovecote still stands within the grounds.
