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.

Châteauroux is a medieval town named after a nobleman, Raoul le Large, who built a castle on the banks of the Indre River. Over the centuries, the name Château Raoul evolved into Châteauroux. This historic town is also home to a Cluniac abbey founded in 917, whose grounds can be explored by canoe.

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
