An imposing 15th century medieval castle, which withstood the Hundred Years' War and the Wars of Religion, as well as the Revolution, it was saved from ruin by its current owner in 1982. This castle was the setting for George Sand's novel "The Miller of Angibault" under the name of Château de Blanchemont.

A truly impressive complex. Very well preserved and restored. You can visit the castle for a small fee. It is definitely worth it. Just for the view from the top floor

Nice castle, which you can visit on your own with a description in the language of your choice. A bit bizarre because you come across all kinds of things, but definitely worth it. Entrance fee adult: 7 euros p.p. There are a number of walking routes near the church: 4, 7, 14, 20 km long. The one from 14 is a beautiful route around the village.

Sarzay Castle is a medieval building dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries. Its lush, natural setting is simply magnificent!

Returning to the village, look up and admire the view of the Lys-Saint-Geroges. You will understand why the castle was built on the heights, a perfect defensive position.

The castle is surrounded by a moat and was built in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries on the remains of an earlier fortress, of which only the 13th century keep remains. The castle was used as a fortress by the English during the Hundred Years War.
