Château de Purnon

Château de Purnon is an 18th-century French château in Verrue, Vienne, built between 1779 and 1788 for Marquis Antoine-Charles Achard using stones from the nearby Château de Brisay. Completed just before the French Revolution, it features two large outbuildings with rare timber framing and a 3 km allée through the Forêt de Scévolles.

In 1893, it was bought by the Marquis de Rochequairie, and in 2020, sold to Australian couple Tim Holding and Felicity Selkirk, who began restoring it. The estate was listed as a Historical Monument in the 1990s and received the Mission Bern heritage grant in 2022.
