Château de Vouzan stands in Vouzan (Charente), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century, 17th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Vouzan, in the Charente region, a 15th century château stands alongside its castral chapel of Romanesque origin, both listed as historic monuments. The north facade, flanked by turrets on buttresses, and the 17th century gateway topped with a scalloped parapet reflect successive building periods. The grounds still hold a square dovecote and archaeological remains, evidence of occupation on the site before the present château was built. The property is privately owned and has passed through several families, from the Livenne to the Piéchaud.
