Le château en bref
Font le Bon Castle, at Chatain (Vienne), is a small fortress attributed to the 15th century, whose foundations may date back to the 13th century; the site is mentioned as early as the second half of the 12th century. It was the seat of a former lordship, half of whose fief depended on Comporté. It consists of a main residential block flanked by three towers: a cylindrical tower with gun loops, a second tower with gun loops, and a hexagonal tower probably housing the staircase, to which are added tall pepperpot turrets roofed in slate. Nicolas de Verdun held it at the end of the 16th or the beginning of the 17th century. A privately owned, restored property, it is not open to visitors.
