Renay Castle is now in ruins. It was built in the 15th century and belonged to different noble families over the centuries, such as the Courcillons, the Rochambeaus, and the Raguet Lépines. The castle was partially registered as a historic monument in 1971, but it has not been well maintained by its successive owners. The last owner is Sylvain Durand, a dealer and collector who made his fortune with the paintings of Fernand Léger. He died in 2018 and his furniture and collection were sold at auction. The castle has suffered from a lack of maintenance and preservation.

You can book a guided tour with one of the parishioners, who will tell you more about the secrets and stories of this place. You will need to book in advance, as the church is not open to the public all year round.

The castle has suffered from a lack of maintenance and preservation, and has been damaged by vandalism and natural disasters. The tower, courtyards, chapel and chimneys are still visible, but most of the buildings are in a state of disrepair. It is a shame that such historical and architectural heritage is in such a state of disrepair, but the visit remains fascinating.
