Château de Touffou is a fortified medieval structure in Bonnes, Vienne, positioned on a dramatic tall bank of the River Vienne, 18 km east of Poitiers. Mentioned first in 1127 as Tolfol, the castle began as a 12th-century Romanesque dungeon built by the Oger family. The Chasteigner family expanded it in the 15th century with round towers, while 16th-century Renaissance transformations by John III Chasteigner and his wife Claude de Montléon added architectural refinement. The castle merged two 12th-century keeps with sophisticated medieval defense systems and retains Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance elements. Notable for its exceptional collection of hunting buttons—among France's largest—the estate also features the legacy of advertising magnate David Ogilvy, who owned it from 1966 to 1999.
