Château Naillac is a heterogeneous castle which has known several uses over the centuries. From the 12th century it was a fortress but much later, in the 18th century, it became a prison. It then became a school and now houses the Brenne Ecomuseum.

Hiking

Hike up to the old Château-Naillac with its twin 12th-century donjons—towers without buttresses—standing just above the Creuse River. Inside, you'll find remnants of prisoners' graffiti, a hall with a magnificent Romanesque fireplace, and a model showing what the castle once looked like.
