To make a day of it
Château de Puybautier stands in Saint-Coutant (Charente), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
At Saint-Coutant, in the Charente department, the château de Puybautier overlooks the Or valley and dates mainly from the late 18th century. A round tower topped with a conical roof, the sole remnant of a 16th century manor house, stands apart from the present residence, which is flanked by two mansard-roofed pavilions and extended by outbuildings. The whole illustrates the rural manor houses tied to farming estates, with a central projecting bay housing the staircase and a broken-slope roof.
