En un regard
Le château en bref
The Logis de Rochebertier stands on the right bank of the Tardoire in the commune of Vilhonneur. The site is mentioned as early as 1276, described as a "refugium seu reparium de Rochanbertia" in an avowal by Robert V de Montbron, and the fortress is confirmed by an act of homage to the Black Prince in 1363. In the 16th century, the Renouard family, including Jean Renouard, squire and lord of the place in 1520, had the castle rebuilt on the right bank, with thick walls pierced with loopholes. Passed by inheritance to the Lériget, de Chièvres and then Pasquet families — Protestants, including Louis de Pasquet, who married Anne de Bernon in 1700 — the estate then remained with the de Corgnol family until the end of the 19th century. L-shaped in plan, it retains three round towers, a square tower to the south-west, a spiral staircase in the central tower, as well as a bretèche, loopholes, a bartizan and a wall-walk. Listed as a historic monument, the manor house, reached through a Charente-style gateway to the north, remains privately owned.
