Logis de la Tourgarnier
Logis de la Tourgarnier, Seigniorial residence in Angoulême, France.
The Logis de la Tourgarnier is a nobleman's residence in Angoulême featuring a round-arched gateway and a secondary entrance. The building displays decorative window details and mock crenellations on its walls, and it includes a converted mill structure now used as a guesthouse and art gallery.
The residence was built in the 16th century as a home for a noble family. Royal visitors including King Charles IX and Catherine de Medici stayed here in 1565 during their travels through the region.
The name references an old watchtower that once stood guard over this area. Today the decorative details on the front still echo that protective purpose.
The property sits along Rue de la Tourgarnier near the Anguienne River. Parts of the estate function as a working guesthouse, so visiting hours may be limited on certain days.
The residence received official protection in two separate years, first in 1925 for its interior portal and again in 1949 for its decorative walls. This double recognition shows how different aspects of the building mattered to historians.
