About Château de Cognac
The Château de Cognac originated as a fortress of the counts of Angoulême, possibly as early as the tenth century, guarding the Charente River. Rebuilt and expanded over the following centuries, it became a residence of the House of Valois-Angoulême. King Francis I of France was born there in 1494, tying the castle to French royal history.
