Aizecq Manor

En un regard

Le château en bref

Located in Nanteuil-en-Vallée, in the north of the Charente department, the Manoir d'Aizecq is a two-storey noble residence (logis), topped by an attic storey and extended by a service wing. Its façade is organised around a square entrance tower, flanked by a corbelled turret. Several features recall the Renaissance: a dormer with a semicircular tympanum, mullioned windows, and a doorway crowned by an ogee gable. The estate also retains a pillar dovecote whose nesting boxes (boulins) are still in place, a sign of the right of high justice under the Ancien Régime. A privately owned property, the residence was remodelled in the 19th century; the dovecote has been listed as a monument historique since 2002.
