Vestige de la cité des seigneurs de Marthon.
Au Moyen-Âge, Marthon était le siège d'une importante châtellenie qui s'étendait sur 13 ou 14 paroisses. Le fief appartenait, au milieu du XIème siècle, aux seigneurs de Marthon issus du lignage des seigneurs de Montbron. Ils le possédèrent durant un siècle, jusqu'au mariage de Robert de Marthon et d'Emma de La Rochefoucauld, au milieu du XIIeme siècle. Après cette alliance, Marthon devint propriété des La Rochefoucauld jusqu'au XVIIeème siècle. En 1712, la baronnie fut vendue aux Chérade, Comte de Marthon, qui la conservèrent jusqu'à la Révolution française.
Pour des raisons défensives, la forteresse médiévale était établie sur un éperon rocheux, dominant la vallée du Bandiat.
De cet ensemble médiéval, il subsiste encore plusieurs vestiges dont le plus remarquable est le donjon ou Tour du Breuil. Élément clé de cet ancien ensemble castral, il fut construit au milieu du XIIeme siècle. De plan rectangulaire, il comprenait à l'origine trois niveaux et sa hauteur avoisinait les 30 mètres. Il ne mesure plus qu'une quinzaine de mètres aujourd'hui et demeure l'un des plus importants donjons romans du département de la Charente. La Tour du Breuil, propriété du Conseil Départemental de la Charente depuis 1921, est inscrit à l'inventaire des Monuments Historiques depuis 1928.

The Château de Marthon is a ruined castle in the commune of Marthon in the Charente département of France. Only the keep remains.
The Marthon family was descended from the Montbrons, grandchildren of the count of AngoulĂŞme, Audouin II. This seigneury existed from the 10th century.
During the Hundred Years' War, the lords of Marthon remained loyal to the king of France. On the night of 5/6 May 1347, the English surprised the castle and set it on fire, ravaging all of the castellanery.
The castle was built as a polygonal enceinte dominated by a square keep in the south-west corner. Its construction dates from the 12th or 13th centuries. Living accommodation was built against the north face of the tower. A turret has disappeared.
The castle had a Gothic chapel with two floors - the lower served as a shelter for pilgrims and the upper was reserved for the lord.
In 1960, the keep was reduced in height by a metre.
It has been listed since 1928 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture (Wikipedia).

Le château, dont la première construction remonte au XIIème siècle, fut reconstruit au XVème siècle pour remplacer l'ancien brûlé par les Anglais lors des rudes combats de la guerre de Cent ans. Cette construction terminée au XVIème constitue " le vieux château " avec ses tours couronnées de mâchicoulis et de créneaux, avec ses façades percées de fenêtres à meneaux. Au XVIIème siècle, le vieux château fut agrandi perpendiculairement avec une aile plus basse, classique, couverte d'un toit à la Mansard.

The castle, whose first construction dates back to the 12th century, was rebuilt in the 15th century to replace the former burned by the English during the fierce battles of the Hundred Years War. This construction finished in the 16th century is "the old castle" with its towers crowned with machicolations and battlements, with its facades pierced with mullioned windows. In the 17th century, the old castle was enlarged perpendicularly with a lower, classical wing covered with a Mansard roof.

Saint-Jean-de-Côle 45° 25′ 19″ N 0° 50′ 21″ EOSM
L'histoire de Saint Jean de Côle se confond avec celle du château de La Marthonie et celle du prieuré, qui fut édifié en 1083 par Raynaud de Thiviers, évêque de Périgueux, sur les bords de la Côle, au carrefour des voies menant de Nontron à Thiviers ou à Brantôme. Bien protégé par le château de la Marthonie, construit à la même époque, et abritant initialement seize chanoines réguliers suivant la règle de Saint Augustin, le prieuré rayonne rapidement sur toute la région et moins d'un siècle après sa création, ses possessions s'étendent jusqu'à Limoges et Périgueux, tandis qu'un village prospère naît et se développe autour du prieuré.
En 1394, les Anglais ravagent et incendient le château, ainsi que le prieuré, dont les terres sont dévastées et les chanoines dispersés. Fortifiant le village pour se préserver des attaques, les Anglais s'installent jusqu'en 1404.

Saint-Jean- de-Cole 45 ° 25 '19 " N 0 ° 50 ' 21" EOSM
The history of Saint Jean de Cole is intertwined with that of the castle of La Marthonie and the priory , which was built in 1083 by Raynaud Thiviers , Bishop of PĂ©rigueux, on the banks of the Cole at the crossroads of routes leading Nontron Thiviers or Brantome. Well protected by Marthonie Castle , built at the same time, and initially sheltering sixteen canons regular following the rule of St. Augustine , the priory quickly radiates throughout the region and less than a century after its creation, its possessions s' extend to Limoges and PĂ©rigueux , while a prosperous village is born and develops around the priory.
In 1394 , the British ravaged and burned the castle and priory , whose land is devastated and scattered canons. Fortifying the village to guard against attacks , the English settled until 1404 .

Every year there is an event where about 150 Mini Cooper come to.
It's called the ''Noordwijk Mini Marathon''. With all the Mini's we drive a verry nice route towards the beach resort of Noordwijk where the boulevard is closed especially for the Mini's!
My father himself has a classic Mini, and of course we also did participate in this ride!
This Mini Cooper, the 'SportsPack' was the last 'old' model that was made. 1997-2000.

Le village médiéval de St-Jean-de-Côle en Périgord Vert est classé parmi les plus beaux villages de France. Le château de la Marthonie domine la place de ce petit village avec son ensemble de tours crénélées du XVe siècle et un donjon carré à machicoulis. Au XVIIe siècle, une aile fut ajoutée sur une galerie à arcades comme le montre la deuxième photo. A l'intérieur, on découvre un escalier monumental à rampes droites.
C'est ici en Périgord que l'on compte la plus grande densité de repaires nobles de France. Le département de la Dordogne compte environ 1500 châteaux, manoirs et gentilhommières. Ce nombre élevé de châteaux s'explique en partie par les fortes rivalités successorales qui engendrèrent un grand nombre de petits seigneurs, sans grosses richesses, mais souvent prêts à affirmer leur suprématie.

The 55 was built by the DAF from 1967 until 1972. Styling of the car was by Michelotti. The Marthon version had a 1.3 litre engine from Renault and of course DAF's Variomatic transmission.
In this beautiful village is the Chateau de la Marthonie, which dates back to C12, but seen here to the right is C15, with the range to the left, built two hundred years later. The chateau's most noteable owner was Mondot de la Marthonie, who was counsellor to the queen mother of François I and who made the nearby chateau of Puyguilhem what we see today.

Visit Marthon (Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France)
Marthon is a village to the east of the Charente department between Angouleme and Nontron (Dordogne) on the quiet banks of the river Bandiat.
There are several small highlights to enjoy as you explore Marthon, as well as small architectural details such as a fountain, a well, an old stone archway, and some attractive houses.
The most important monument here, and the one that dominates the rooftops of Marthon, is the castle keep - the Donjon de Marthon (also called the Tour du Breuil).
Dating from the 12th century, it is now only the lower part of the original sturdy square tower that had three towers and a small section of wall that remains of the original castle but the donjon still dominates Marthon village.
You can reach the castle via the roman style chapel-doorway below the donjon - this is a tall building that combines a chapel on the upper storey and the gateway to the castle below and is built into the defensive walls around the castle.
Two other (more recent) castles can be seen at Marthon: the Chateau Neuf and the Chateau du Colombier, with both castles incorporating several different architectural styles. The Chateau Neuf dates from the 16th century, although it was much modified and extended in the 20th century, and the Chateau du Colombier is now a hotel.
Church of Saint-Martin
Another point of interest is the roman style Church of Saint-Martin. Note in particular the belltower with arched openings and the statue in a niche above the entrance. The unusual arches inset in the walls are called 'enfeu' and are tombs of local dignitaries that were originally buried in the church walls.

Château de Marthon
The Château de Marthon is a ruined castle in the commune of Marthon in the Charente département of France. Only the keep remains.
The Marthon family was descended from the Montbrons, grandchildren of the count of AngoulĂŞme, Audouin II. This seigneury existed from the 10th century.
During the Hundred Years' War, the lords of Marthon remained loyal to the king of France. On the night of 5/6 May 1347, the English surprised the castle and set it on fire, ravaging all of the castellanery.
The castle was built as a polygonal enceinte dominated by a square keep in the south-west corner. Its construction dates from the 12th or 13th centuries. Living accommodation was built against the north face of the tower. A turret has disappeared.
The castle had a Gothic chapel with two floors - the lower served as a shelter for pilgrims and the upper was reserved for the lord.
In 1960, the keep was reduced in height by a metre.
It has been listed since 1928 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
Today Saint-Jean-de-CĂ´le, a member of "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France" ("most beautiful villages of France"), has a population of only about 300. A castle existed here already since the 11th century, when nearby a priory was founded. This castle got ruined when English troops seized the village in 1394 and settled here for 11 years, before French troops forced them out.
The current castle was rebuilt from the end of the 15th century on, but suffered again, when in 1569 Saint-Jean-de-CĂ´le was pillaged by the Protestants during the wars of religion .
After the end of the war the castle got rebuilt again in a Renaissance style and a large wing was added in the 17rth century.
Seen here are the castle, the market hall and a part of the former convent´s church, now parish church.
