Logis des Tours stands in Villefagnan (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). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The Logis des Tours in Villefagnan preserves the remains of a castle built in the 15th century for the bishops of Poitiers, standing at the town's main crossroads. Two round towers flank the entrance porch, still showing traces of their defensive features, and are extended by an enclosure wall. The site is best appreciated from the outside, as a piece of urban history rather than a castle to walk through.
