Magnificent little Charentais village, with a small church and its garden

Don't hesitate to get off the Flow Vélo to discover the village of Marthon. The detour is worth it!

The Château de la Tranchade dominates the Anguienne valley on a rocky outcrop protecting the south-eastern access to Angoulême. A strategic stronghold to control Angoulême, La Tranchade has often been besieged.

The tower was built in the 15th century. The keep is a strong square tower that may date from the end of the 14th or the beginning of the 15th century. The defensive walls are made of cut stone. The machicolations are intact. Only the walkway is damaged to the east. Inside, the rooms and the original staircase no longer exist. The small chapel has remains of frescoes from the beginning of the 15th century or perhaps from the 14th (knight; Saint Michael; Saint Christopher; king; horsewoman...). The remains of the tower buildings were remodeled in the 19th century.

Three truncated rectangular towers and beautiful vaulted rooms remain from the 13th century castle, which was extensively altered in the 17th century. The battlements on fancy battlements are from the 19th century.
