Montbron Castle
Highlight • Castle
Built under the authority of Marguerite de Rohan, Countess of Angoulême, the castle consists of a main building on which leans a polygonal tower through which you can access using a remarkable spiral staircase, two magnificent painted fireplaces dating from the 17th century. adorning the two exhibition halls on the first floor.
The whole, built with the stones of the old feudal fortress, was integrated into the city surrounded by ramparts.
In summer, all the rooms of the castle welcome various artists (painters, sculptors, visual artists, craftsmen...).

Saint Martin Church of Vouthon
Highlight • Religious Site
In 1312, the commandery passed under the order of Saint John of Jerusalem, as can still be seen today by the Maltese cross on the forecourt of the church.
During the Hundred Years War, the facade underwent changes and the building was altered several times over the following centuries.
The house, which is accessed by a staircase, was built by the Hospitallers.
One of the Templar commanders, Raymond de Mareuil, was cited by another Templar during questioning by the Pope's commissioners in 1311, in the conflict between King Philippe le Bel and the Templars.
