Vitry-aux-Loges was for a long time a royal residence, its castle welcoming the kings who came to hunt in the forest of Orléans already before the year one thousand. Time did its work and after a fire and then a storm, this castle was finally destroyed in 1767.

From the 15th century, several lordly residences made of bricks were built around the remains of the royal castle and the castle of Plessis: the castle of La Motte, surrounded by water moats, the castle of Vaux and that of Jarnonces which has now disappeared.

The construction of the canal and the arrival of the train would subsequently revitalize Vitry-aux-Loges.

Note that the town is now located in a Natura 2000 zone.
