Château d'Angles-sur-l'Anglin

Description

The Château d'Angles-sur-l'Anglin dates originally from the 12th century, with significant alterations and additions in the 15th century. A motte was here before the present castle. The earliest records date from 1025. The keep and vault were constructed in the 12th century. In the 15th century, the keep was altered for bishop Hugues de Combarel who also built the new castle. Guillaume de Charpagne, his successor, continued the work.

The ruin is open to the public during normal hours at a cost of 6 euros. A self guided tour provides several informative kiosks along the way in both French and English.
