Château Saint-Martial de Jarnac is an elegant neo-Renaissance-style residence, built between 1882 and 1884 for Maurice Laporte-Bisquit, a cognac merchant and mayor of Jarnac. Its main façade is organized around two polygonal towers and a central H-shaped plan; the facades are decorated with ceramic panels, a tribute to the founding family. The château boasts a majestic stone staircase with a wrought iron railing, large reception rooms adorned with woodwork and gilded stucco, and a landscaped park. The building served as a hospital for wounded soldiers during the First World War and later became a home for art collections. Listed as a historic monument in 2014, the château now houses guest rooms and remains a testament to the prestige of cognac houses during the Belle Époque.

The Château des Chabannes in Jarnac was built at the end of the 19th century for Baptiste Vert, then a cognac company manager. It is distinguished by its vast terrace offering a panoramic view of the Charente River and a garden featuring a pond and a rockery pierced by grottoes. The château's architecture, composed of a central building, two rectangular wings, and pavilions with round towers, reflects the tastes of the time and the importance of the local cognac houses. The architectural details are particularly elaborate: stone balustrades, a south-facing gallery, sculpted friezes, and a prominent winter garden that accentuates the refinement of the ensemble. This residence, surrounded by a park sloping down to the river, bears witness to the prestige of the region's cognac merchants during the Belle Époque.

Covered washhouse at the exit of St-Cybardeaux, dating from 1877. Rectangular with three sloping edges, two wash tables were installed there at the time, to allow for a more comfortable break.

Washhouse with two sloping stone curbstones. It is located along the road, 1.5 km from St-Cybardeaux, sheltered by trees. The washhouse's water comes from a small circular stone fountain, while the water flows on the other side under a bridge once crossed by the Petit Rouillac.

Small section of the Douzat greenway, a bit of D+ at the start (from the N-E), but very clean and under cover of vegetation.

In fact, this building is a small square with a stone table and coping stones, at the entrance to the village of Grillauds, on a stretch of the Nouère at the Grillauds mill, just under the bridge spanning this stretch.
