Château de Chambes, Medieval fortress in Terres-de-Haute-Charente, France

Château de Chambes stands at Roumazières-Loubert on the bank of the Charente. Its facade is framed by two towers and bent by a projecting corner, and the square pavilion with a pyramidal roof is later than the rest. Two small gate towers of the 13th-century fortified enclosure survive. The walls are pale stone and plaster under reddish-brown tiled roofs, with a tall central chimney and dormer windows.
