Château-Neuf of Marthon

Highlight • Other

On leaving Marthon, this castle was commissioned by Hubert de La Rochefoucauld, around 1560, to replace an old fortress burned down during the Hundred Years War.

However, it was not until the 20th century that this construction was restored and completed. It is private property but can be enjoyed from the outside.

12th century Romanesque church. The west facade has two buttresses rising to the top at its ends. Double buttresses correspond to the western pilasters of the dome and small ones are placed to the west of the nave, on the chapel and the apse. The rectangular bell tower has a first floor with arches, resting on a molded cordon. On another cordon, loaded with vertical billets, rises a second floor, the walls of which are pierced with rectangular openings. Inside, the nave has no vault. Its western and southern walls were dated back to the 17th century. Part of the pavement of the nave is made up of funerary slabs, bearing the representation of the working instruments of the deceased. A covered wooden chapel is supported to the north. It communicates with the nave by two wide arches. The false square, under the bell tower, carries a dome on horns, the departures of which rest on horizontal cords.

Among the rich heritage of the commune of Pranzac, there is the Saint-Cybard church and its Renaissance chapel whose pendant keystones are of a remarkable finish, listed in the inventory of historical monuments. Begun in the 12th century in the midst of Romanesque art, the church was enlarged in the 16th century, then restored in the 19th and 20th centuries.
An Italian organ found its place in the church in 2011, thanks to the will of the association "Les secrets de Pranzac", it comes to life thanks to the festival "Au gré des arts" organized each year.

Lantern of the Dead in stone, from the 12th century: classification by decree of July 1, 1905

Cylindrical column resting on four steps and ending in a plain cone, surmounted by a cross. A door opens above the second seat and gives access to the interior of the lantern. A small cornice, projecting from the top of the shaft and adorned with carved stars, separates the column from its ridge pierced with small windows.

The city is known for its two springs. Indeed, the sources of the Touvre are the second resurgence of France.

The clear waters provide an ideal habitat for many animal and plant species.
