The château de Ransanne stands in Soulignonne, in the Charente-Maritime department, built in the second half of the 15th century on a fief recorded since the 14th century. Its solid main building shows two contrasting faces: one almost blind wall flanked by witch's-hat towers, and another pierced by a pointed-arch doorway, the only entrance, watched over by a square stair tower. Bretèches, turrets and the remains of moats recall the site's defensive purpose, alongside a round dovecote and outbuildings from the same period.
