Le château en bref
The Château de Roissac, at Angeac-Champagne near Cognac, occupies a site that was home to a Gallo-Roman villa and later to a medieval seigneurial residence. In 1231 the estate was the subject of a transaction involving Hugh X of Lusignan and Isabella of Angoulême, former Queen of England, with Itier II of Barbezieux; it then passed to the families of La Rochefoucauld, Pons de Pons, Mortemer and then Lusignan. Joseph de Beauchamp had the remains of the old château demolished and the present building erected in 1770.
