En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Vouzan, in Charente, was an important fief held by the Livenne family from the 14th to the 17th century, before passing to the d'Abzac family, and then, in 1720, by sale to the Arnaud de Bouëx. Its castral chapel, dating from the 12th century, was renovated in the 17th century with an ornate monumental portal; its 15th-century north façade is flanked by corner watchtowers set on buttresses. The estate passed to the comte de Thiennes in 1902, then more recently to the Piéchaud family. The ensemble formed by the château and the castral chapel is listed as a historic monument; the park preserves a square dovecote and archaeological remains.
