The castle of Sully is located on the banks of the Loire - it used to be almost in the middle of the river. Therefore, the moat is particularly wide and extended to a pond behind the castle. The complex was built or rebuilt between the 14th and 17th centuries. The oldest part of the complex is the high donjon towards the Loire, which is surrounded by thick round towers at the corners. In the largest room of the castle, the Hall of Honor on the first floor of the Donjon, Voltaire had his tragedy "Artémise" performed when, exiled from Paris, he had found refuge in Sully.
