The Capuchin Castle in Tonnay-Charente, built on a former convent founded in the 17th century by the Rochechouart-Mortemart family, served as a convent, a temporary town hall during the Revolution, and was then sold as national property. It has had several lives, including as property of the Red Cross, and today houses a medical-professional institute. Its current architecture dates from the late 19th century, with a rectangular plan flanked by towers, and it is only visible from the outside.
