Origin and history

The Château de Tilloux is a building located in the commune of Bourg-Charente in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Although classified as a monument, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. Its existence is attested by internal data, but they do not provide any additional information on its architecture or historical role.

The castles of this region, often linked to feudal or winemaking history, served as seigneurial residences or local administrative centres. In Charente, these monuments generally reflected the power of noble or bourgeois families, while playing an economic role, especially in the production of wine or cognac. Without specific information about the castle of Tilloux, it is difficult to specify the exact function of the castle, but its location in Bourg-Charente suggests integration in this regional context.
