Logis de Nanteuil

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Logis de Nanteuil overlooks the Échelle valley at Sers, near Angoulême. A fief held from the Bishop of Angoulême, it is recorded as early as 1427 through the homage paid by Jean de La Mare and Marguerite Chauvin, before belonging for several centuries to the de La Garde family, including François de La Garde, lord in 1648. Its rectangular 14th-century building, with a vaulted lower hall featuring transverse arches, was supplemented by mullioned windows in the 15th century, a tower in the 16th century and 17th-century crenellations restored in the 19th century. The manor house, the lower hall and the south dovecote have been listed as historic monuments since 14 April 1997. Privately owned, it is not open to visitors.
