The castle of Barbezieux, dominating the plain on the borders of Saintonge and Angoumois is, since the 10th century and throughout the Middle Ages, at the head of a powerful independent châtellenie at the heart of all the power struggles in the region. Between the 11th and 13th centuries, attracted by the protection offered by its influential lords, a large population came to nestle at the foot of the walls. Thus was born the town of Barbezieux, commercial and prosperous at the crossroads of several traffic axes. The end of the 15th century saw its revival thanks to the work of Marguerite de la Rochefoucauld, Lady of Barbezieux. It restores the stately home as well as various buildings in the farmyard. From this work campaign dates the current Archiac Gate and the theater.

It is an imposing castle dominating the Charente valley, notably Angeac, below, where exceptional dinosaur bones were discovered (giant dinosaur femur visible at the Angoulême museum). The most spectacular view of the castle requires taking the D 152 towards Malaville. Be careful, the slope is steep and the percentages impressive.
