Nitray Dam

Highlight • Monument

The Nitray dam is a needle dam established on the Cher.

Built in 1841, it was intended to make the Cher navigable. However, the sharp drop in river traffic during the 20th century made the tributary of the Loire unsuitable for commercial navigation. Only pleasure boats pass through it now.

It was classified in 2011 as a historical monument.

July 19, 2023,Schlösser der Loire 4. Etappe: Azay-le-Rideau - Chenonceaux🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️☀️

Today's stage to Chenonceaux was certainly not the nicest of this tour: there was a lot of road and accordingly there was little exciting to see on the way.
We made a short stop at the Chateau Saché, which now houses a small museum. There you could have stayed reading in a deck chair under a maple tree. In any …
