Château de Campagne, Medieval castle in Campagne, France.

Château de Campagne stands at the northern edge of the village of Campagne, at the junction of the D35 and D706 roads, 100 metres from the 12th-century Saint-Jean-Baptiste church. The cream-stone complex has a tall round crenellated tower beside a higher square tower capped with a dark conical roof, a black metal gate between them, and a lower wing with a row of round arches, a balustraded gallery and rectangular windows. A low stone wall with arched openings stands before the arches, and the building is partly surrounded by a moat within a 6-hectare park.

Known since the 12th century as a possession of the archbishops of Bordeaux, the castle was taken by Jean de Beaufort in 1405 and handed to the English. The French retook it in 1432 and Charles VII had it razed. The present building was raised in the 15th, 17th and 18th centuries and restored between 2008 and 2014.

The park was laid out in the style of 19th-century English country gardens, with large redwoods and cedars among its trees. A stream winds through the grounds, its banks recently planted, and visitors can walk along it. A decorative vegetable garden and a labyrinth are also part of the gardens.

The castle itself is not open to visitors, but its grounds and park are free to visit. The entrance lies between the lavoir and the church. The park covers 6 hectares and opens onto a 367-hectare forest, part of it a classified biological reserve.
