Château de Jonzac, Medieval castle in Jonzac, France.
The castle features two prominent towers, defensive elements including a drawbridge, and machicolations overlooking the Seugne River from its elevated position.
The first written records of the castle date back to 1073, with major reconstruction work completed in 1449 following extensive damage during the Hundred Years War.
The castle's north wing now houses the town hall offices, while the south wing contains the administrative offices of the sub-prefecture since 1846.
The castle underwent extensive restoration work starting in 2022, focusing on the preservation of its facades, rampart walkways, and sculptural elements.
Louis XIV, his mother, and Cardinal Mazarin stayed at the castle in 1659, marking a significant period in the structure's history.
