Château de Bourg-Charente, Historical castle in Bourg-Charente, France.

The Château de Bourg-Charente stands on a rocky outcrop above the Charente River, displaying characteristic 17th-century architectural features.

The present castle replaced an earlier fortress that was destroyed during the Hundred Years War when the English occupied the region.

The estate represents a significant example of French architectural heritage, registered in the general inventory of cultural monuments.

Visitors can explore the castle grounds and surrounding area by following the Flow Vélo cycling route that passes near the property.

The castle houses Grand Marnier cellars since 1921, with stills dedicated to distilling bitter oranges for the production of their signature liqueur.
