Bourg-Archambault, castle village
The castle is the main heritage asset. Built 14th-15th centuries, it keeps crenellated round towers, a main body, in a dominant position making it an important regional fortress. Listed historic monument, today privately owned, but its silhouette dominates the village.
Village itself with stone houses, church and farming fabric: a preserved image of deep-Montmorillonnais rural village. Far east Vienne at Poitou-Charentes-Limousin borders — gentle landscapes, endearing small villages.
