16000 Angouleme
Built on the site of the former castle of the Counts of Angoulême, the town hall, along with Saint-Pierre Cathedral, is one of Angoulême's landmark monuments.
Reservation required at the tourist office.
Formerly located at the intersection of three walls encompassing the rocky spur, the castle of the Counts of Angoulême is now made up of two towers. The keep, built at the end of the 13th and beginning of the 14th century by the Lusignans, surprises with its polygonal shape. The round tower, birthplace of the sister of King Francis I, Marguerite d'Angoulême, was built in the 15th century in the style of the time. It was in the 19th century that Paul Abadie Fils built the town hall on the site of the castle, assigning each wing a function transcribed by a symbolic architectural style. Take to the heights at the top of the towers for an exceptional panorama of the city and immerse yourself in the history of the Middle Ages to the 19th century.
