In the Middle Ages, Barbezieu served the surrounding villages and hamlets as a market, craft and court location. The area is still largely agricultural, with winegrowing playing a leading role: the small town lies in the south of the Cognac wine-growing region and is part of the Petite Champagne region; Pineau des Charentes, a type of liqueur wine, is also produced here. The Barbezieux breed of chicken (poule de Barbezieux) is known nationwide. Several small and medium-sized industrial companies (food packaging, furniture manufacturing, agricultural machinery) have settled in the industrial areas (zones industrielles) outside the town.

The church depended on the priory of Barbezieux. The plan of the building is in the shape of a cross, with a flat apse. The nave includes two first bays from the 15th century, deviated on the axis of the rest of the building, with ribbed vaults and girders. A narrower bay is covered with ribbed vaults resting on Romanesque columns. The current transept and choir are covered with ribbed vaults resting on 13th century small columns with foliated capitals. The choir vault bears the date of 1682. The portal of the western facade dates from the 15th century and has pinnacles, prismatic moldings and kale. Square bell tower with twin trefoil windows.

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.
