Behind this impressive gate is one of the most beautiful estates in Salbris, with at the end of this avenue the private castle of Rivaulde, all brick and half-timbered. It was built in 1524 and then belonged to the lords of Ferté-Imbault. It belonged to the painter Toulouse-Lautrec in the 19th century, who sold it to the Schneider brothers, who had the castle rebuilt by the architect Coulon, then nicknamed "little Vaux-le-Vicomte". Henri Schneider did not see the end of the work in 1902 and it was his wife who made it her main residence.

Let yourself be charmed by this magnificent castle with a history as rich as its architecture. Built in 980 on an old leveled mound, it is the largest brick castle in Sologne and one of the oldest. It was partly destroyed and rebuilt over the centuries, notably during the Renaissance, and saw illustrious people pass through, including Joan of Arc. Jacques d'Estampes, the first Marquis de la Ferté-Imbaud was ambassador to England and Marshal of France. With his wife Catherine-Blanche de Choiseul, they particularly marked the history of this castle. It is now possible to visit it and privatize it for events.
