Château de la Salle stands in Gémozac (Charente-Maritime), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Standing in the plain north of Gémozac, the château de la Salle shows a sober classical architecture, built around 1720 to replace an older manor house. The U shaped building, surrounded by moats lined with balustrades and crossed by stone bridges, retains only one of the two pavilions that once framed its entrance. A fire shortly after its listing destroyed part of the main wing and the north pavilion, leaving the ensemble marked by this loss today.
