Château de Vaucour stands in Leignes-sur-Fontaine (Vienne), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Middle Ages). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Vaucour castle, built in the late Middle Ages, features an unusual defensive design: a square central body reinforced at each corner by four comparable masses, each subdivided into sections. This geometric arrangement is distinctive and constitutes the main visible structure. The façades and roofing are protected as historical monuments.

What to know

  • The structure dates from the late Middle Ages and reflects a particular military or defensive design.
  • The façades and roofing are officially protected: this is what is viewable from outside.
  • No practical information (opening hours, admission fees, access) is available: inquire directly with the local municipality.
