Château de Sarzay

Highlight • Castle

Sarzay fortress was built in the 14th century.

It originally included the stately home, the chapel, 38 defense towers, 2 perimeter walls covering 5 hectares and 3 drawbridges.

Having survived the Hundred Years War, it is now one of the most photographed monuments in the region.

Highlight • Other

With its five towers and moat, Château de Sarzay seems like something straight out of a fairytale. This 15th-century fortress was originally built to protect the village and is one of the best-preserved castles in the Berry region.

Saint-Germain Church of La Châtre

Highlight • Religious Site

In the heart of La Châtre stands the Église Saint-Germain. Graceful, but with a past that has literally collapsed. In 1896, the bell tower collapsed, dragging the entire church down with it. What you see now is a rebirth in stone. Step back in the square for a moment, look up at the new tower, and imagine the chaos of that time.
Inside, the stained-glass windows bathe the light in warm hues, as if the church itself is trying to say, "I'm here again."
