Origin and history
The Château de la Chaise, located in Saint-Rémy-sur-Creuse in the department of Vienna (New Aquitaine region), is a building built in the 15th century. This monument, classified among the Historical Monuments, is distinguished by its architecture characteristic of this period, with facades and roofs that were officially protected by a decree of inscription in 1967. Its location, indicated with medium accuracy (level 5/10), places it at 5180 Chemin de la Chaise, in the commune of Saint-Rémy-sur-Creuse, identified by the code Insee 86241.
In the 15th century, castles in this region often played a central role in the local social and economic organization. They served as residences for noble lords or families, while providing a defensive or administrative function in a context marked by the post-war tensions of the Hundred Years. Although the available sources do not specify the details of its specific history, the castle of the Chair is part of this general framework, reflecting the importance of fortified or residential monuments in the structuring of the territory and community life in Poitou-Charentes (now New Aquitaine).
