Château de Taillebourg, Medieval castle in Taillebourg, France.
The stone fortress stands on elevated ground along the Charente River, featuring defensive walls and watchtowers that overlook the surrounding landscape.
During the Hundred Years War, the castle served as a strategic stronghold between French and English forces, controlling the river passage and trade routes.
The structure received official recognition as a Monument Historique, marking its role in preserving French architectural and military heritage.
Visitors can reach the castle by following the D114 road from Saintes, with guided tours available from April through October each year.
The castle's position at a natural bend in the Charente River created an excellent vantage point for monitoring river traffic across multiple centuries.
