Château de Jonzac stands in Jonzac (Charente-Maritime), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, third quarter of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Jonzac castle stands at the centre of the town that bears its name, in the Charente-Maritime department. Its medieval towers, fortified gatehouse and 16th-century entrance building trace a history going back to the 11th century, and the site today houses the town hall and the sub-prefecture. Visitors can see an underground fountain decorated with stalactite-like carvings, as well as a 19th-century theatre built within a former courtyard of the castle.

What to know

The castle today houses public institutions (town hall and sub-prefecture), which limits access to certain parts of the building.
The towers, the gatehouse and the underground fountain are listed as historic monuments.
The 19th-century theatre hall, with its original decor, benefits from separate heritage protection.
The exteriors (facades, towers, gatehouse) can be seen while walking through the town of Jonzac.
No opening hours or admission fees are given, as the site mainly serves administrative functions.
