    The fortress of Montrichard was built by the Amboise family during the 12th century. A real defensive structure, the fortress was erected on the rocky outcrop that dominates the town to watch over the Cher valley (located south of Amboise).



    In the 15th century, King Louis XI ordered the construction of vast royal residences overlooking the Sainte Croix church, then the castle chapel.



    The fortress of Montrichard was classified as a historical monument in 1877. From its enclosure, the view of the Cher valley is panoramic.
