Château de Saveilles stands in Paizay-Naudouin-Embourie (Charente), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, first half of the 16th century, 19th century). Adult admission costs 8 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on September 3, 2026.
Surrounded by a moat, the Château de Saveilles combines the defensive look of a 15th century stronghold with Renaissance features added later. Built on an L shaped plan, it is flanked by round towers topped with pointed roofs and entered through a gatehouse with two towers opening onto a large courtyard. The outbuildings recall the site's role during the Wars of Religion, when Huguenot forces stored their supplies there. Visits today take place in the surrounding park.
