Logis de Chalonne

En un regard

Le château en bref

Overlooking the Charente from a hillside upstream of Angoulême, the Logis de Chalonne in Gond-Pontouvre retains a 12th–13th-century keep built of large ashlar blocks, altered in the 16th century and again in the 17th–18th centuries, notably through the piercing of new openings in the south wing. Having belonged, among others, to Seguin Cerdaing (1254), to the Vigier family and then, through marriage, to Louis de Courbon (1523), the logis passed to the Arnaud family in 1639 and then to the Marquis Auguste-François Prévost de Touchimbert in 1734, before being acquired by the Pinaud family around 1900. Since 2018, their descendants have set up guest rooms there.
