One of the best preserved castles of Chauvigny, with a rectangular enclosure, high curtains, and turrets

Château d'Harcourt first belonged to the Lusignan family and then, in the 13th century, passed through marriage to the Harcourt family, before being ceded in 1447 to the bishops of Poitiers, barons of Chauvigny. Rebuilt in the 13th century, it is the best-preserved of the Chauvinois castles. Its almost rectangular enclosure features high curtain walls flanked by solid cylindrical turrets. Two adjoining buildings make up the whole, but only the southern one remains well preserved. A Micro-Folie allows visitors to discover cultural works digitally.

Beaux vestiges de ce château médiéval qui surplombe toute la ville de Chauvigny.
Prenez au moins le temps de monter sur la passerelle d'accès si vous ne le visitez pas.
Il est possible d'assister à un spectacles de rapaces mais nous avons malheureusement manqué le créneau.

Beau château

Classé monument historique, le château accueille aujourd'hui le spectacle des "géants du ciel ". On peut observer des rapaces et des perroquets qui tourbillonnent au dessus des ruines. Vue magnifique sur la vallée.
