The story of the fortified castle of St Jean d’Angle
Imagine this castle, not far away from the port of Brouage, whose construction began in 1180 to ensure the protection of the salt marshes…
A Shell-Keep, an Anglo-Norman model
With its 20-meter-high walls and its construction in a Shell-keep style, unique in France at the time, Lord Lusignan offers himself an unobstructed view of an ocean of marshes!
The castle is located on a reconstituted mound, surrounded by a wide moat with a circular enclosing curtain wall containing residential buildings arranged around a central courtyard. Two towers flank the rampart and the whole is very well designed for both passive and active defense.
The fortress becomes a home
At the start of the 17th century, Louis's daughter, Charlotte Saint-Gelais de Lusignan, restored the castle damaged by successive attacks.
She replaces the drawbridge with a dormant stone bridge, opens large windows and, heightened by modernism, has latrines built. A French garden completes the transformation. The medieval fortress becomes a pleasant residence where the nobility of the surroundings meet.
