The Château de Nitray is a typical residence of the French First Renaissance. Built on the left bank of the Cher, it consists of two towers at the north entrance: one houses a chapel and the other the fruit tree (where fruit was dried). The lord's house overlooks the park as well as the main courtyard. A dovecote with its rotating ladder in working order completes the set. The French-style garden housing the vegetable garden and the orchard is located to the south of the agricultural buildings. The 10-hectare vineyard is located to the west of the chateau.
