3 unusual facts about Château de Chambonneau


Château de Chambonneau

The Château de Chambonneau is a castle in the commune of Gizay in the Vienne département of France that still shows good parts of the original "chateau-fort".

In 1356, after the capture of Jean II de France (Jean le bon) during the Battle of Poitiers, the English were looking for shelter for the night, to avoid a surprise attack.

It belonged to the abbey of Ligugé, which sold it in the 11th century to the Anguittard family.
