The Property
Overlooking the picturesque Bouzanne Valley in the Indre department, this extraordinary 15th-century fortress is one of the finest surviving examples of medieval military architecture in France. Set within more than 15 hectares of private grounds and protected by nearly two kilometres of surrounding walls, the estate enjoys exceptional privacy and far-reaching views across the unspoilt countryside of the Berry region.
Steeped in history, the château has welcomed kings, survived the French Revolution, housed works from the Louvre during the Second World War, and has been meticulously restored to preserve its remarkable heritage. Approached through an imposing gatehouse and arranged around two impressive courtyards, the property retains its moats, towers, monumental fireplaces and numerous period features, creating an atmosphere of rare authenticity and grandeur.
The château offers an exceptional collection of reception rooms and private apartments, while a substantial range of outbuildings—including a conference centre, guest accommodation and several additional houses—provides considerable potential for hospitality, events or private use.
The grounds comprise mature parkland, woodland, meadows and a swimming pool set beneath the castle walls, all within the beautiful natural setting of the Berry countryside.
Protected as a Historic Monument, this remarkable fortress presents a rare opportunity to acquire one of France's most significant medieval estates.
