This building, in the heart of Angoulême, was formerly a castle and provincial residence and was transformed into a town hall from 1858 to 1869.
It is built on the site where the castle of the Counts of Angoulême once stood. Two towers of the old castle have been incorporated into the building. It now contains museums of art and archaeology.

In the heart of the city, this town hall is truly impressive. This public building, the former castle of the Counts of Angoulême, was built in ten years starting in 1858. Paul Abadie Fils, the architect, will preserve two towers, one from the 13th century, the other from the 15th century. The monument presents different architectural styles, witnesses to the history of the city.
