Château de l'Oisellerie stands in La Couronne (Charente), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century, 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
The château de l'Oisellerie stands in La Couronne, on the edge of Angoulême, on land once belonging to a nearby abbey. Two wings meeting at a right angle, built between the 16th and 17th centuries, frame a courtyard entered through a crenellated gatehouse. The grounds also retain a garden with ponds, a dovecote and an old sundial. The building now houses an agricultural school, which largely shapes how it can be visited.
