    The castle overlooks the Loir River from a height of 60 meters. It comprises elements from different periods, blending medieval, Gothic, and Renaissance architectural styles.

    Imposing, especially when viewed from below, this castle served as a princely residence in the 12th, 15th, and 16th centuries. A visit will reveal a well-preserved and beautifully presented interior.

    The residence of a faithful comrade in arms of Joan of Arc. Jean de Dunois, known as the "bastard of Orléans", half-brother of Duke Charles of Orléans, made the old medieval castle a comfortable and bright residence and added a Sainte-Chapelle to it. His grandson François II d'Orléans-Longueville enlarged the castle with a wing with Renaissance decor announcing the great castles of the Loire Valley. Work began around 1450 and was not completed until around 1520.
