      Built in 1738 for the Marquis Antoine Guinot de Monconseil, the hotel was from 1790 to 1810 the headquarters of the prefecture of Charente-Inférieure and became a museum in 1920. This remarkable specimen of civil architecture from the XVIIIth century contains rich collections of regional art, gathered at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries by Abel Mestreau (1855-1939).

      Signs, earthenware, engravings, paintings, jewellery, costumes and headdresses, weapons, reconstitution of a peasant interior. Displayed according to the museographical principles of the early 20th century, they bring to life the life of Saintonge.
