To make a day of it

Château Saint-Martial stands in Jarnac (Charente), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Jarnac, beside the Charente river, Saint-Martial castle is a large neo-Renaissance mansion built in the late 19th century for the Bisquit family of cognac merchants. Its most striking features are the polygonal towers flanking the façade, the horseshoe-shaped outdoor staircase, and the ceramic panels decorating the walls, a tribute to one of the town's leading families. Inside, visitors can see grand reception rooms and a suspended stone staircase with a wrought-iron railing.
