    This mysterious building located on an island in the middle of the Cher is the Moulin Fort de Chisseaux. It was built in the 16th century by Adam de Hodon XVI and purchased by Diane de Poitiers, favorite of King Henry II for 20 years. It was then taken over by Catherine de Medici in 1560 upon the death of the king.

    Becoming a tan mill in 1825, it was quickly dismantled in 1840 and abandoned for many years before being restored in 1920 by the Menier family, owners of the Château de Chenonceau. It is today private property.
