Origin and history

The Château de Rouffiac is a monument located in the commune of Angoisse, New Aquitaine. Built during the 4th quarter of the 19th century, it bears witness to the architectural styles and lifestyles of this period, which is a turning point between tradition and modernity. The available data do not specify its initial use or possible owners, but its existence reflects the importance of bourgeois or aristocratic residences in the French countryside at that time.

In the 19th century, the New Aquitaine region, like other rural territories, underwent social and economic transformation. The castles of this period often serve as secondary residences for wealthy families, or as farm centres. Their construction is part of a context of valorisation of local heritage and infrastructure development, while marking the landscape by their imposing presence.

These buildings become symbols of social status and economic power in surrounding communities.
