It's a beautiful castle, that's true, but in a state of disrepair...

The original church certainly predates the year 1000, not in its current form, but already in its design as a fortified church. The chancel was built in 1667. The church includes a large, square, keep-like tower, indicating a 12th-century origin. In 1881 and 1887, two chapels forming a transept were added at the end of the nave and in front of the chancel. The north chapel, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, was built in 1884/1885. The south chapel, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, was financed in 1887/1888. Modern stained-glass windows, the one in the apse from the Dideron workshop and the others from the Lobin workshop in Tours, adorn several of the windows. All of these stained-glass windows were donated by prominent families of Nouan. Upon entering the nave, the first stained-glass windows are the work of Auguste Labouret, a renowned Parisian glassmaker and mosaicist. In the tower, above the entrance portal, is a 1930 stained-glass window depicting Our Lady of Mount Carmel (this is a listed work, included in the supplementary inventory of works of art). Then come the first two stained-glass windows, one on each side of the nave, one representing St. Anthony of Padua preaching to the fish, the other St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus entering the Garden of Carmel.

It's the Bracieux market hall, not Selles-sur-Cher. I don't know how we can change that.

A magnificent castle, it served as inspiration for the Moulinsart castle in the adventures of Tintin

Gorgeous

Super beautiful

Built in a Classical style, the Cherveny castle has belonged to the same family for more than six centuries, the Huraults, financiers and officers in the service of several kings of France. The current castle was built around 1625 by Henri, son of Philippe Hurault, and his wife Marguerite Gaillard de la Morinière. They launched the construction of the current castle and entrusted the execution of the work to the architect Jacques Bougier. He uses “Bourré stone”, a stone from the Cher valley which has the particularity of whitening and hardening as it ages. Sobriety and symmetry characterize the Château de Cheverny, a precursor of the French style which established itself under the reign of Louis XIV. The work is of such magnitude that it will not see the end of the project. Their daughter Elisabeth, Marquise de Montglas, completed the interior decoration which was entrusted to Jean Monier. During the following hundred and fifty years, the Château de Cheverny changed owners several times. In 1825, Anne Denis Hurault, Marquis de Vibraye, bought the property from her ancestors. The Château de Cheverny, which has always been inhabited, presents remarkably well-preserved pieces of furniture and interior fittings. The first floor apartments bear witness to the French art of living. An English-style park and gardens surround the Château de Cheverny. Visitors can discover the Jardin des Apprentis, a contemporary designed garden created in 2006 which was inspired by the found plans of an old French garden and the vegetable garden, designed by the Marquise de Vibraye, it combines the use original of different colored materials, vegetables and flowers. The Garden of Love, created in 2019, presents six monumental statues by Gudmar Olovson which reflect Love in all its forms. Cheverny constitutes a heritage of stones, land but also of tradition with venery or hunting with hounds. The Cheverny crew was founded in 1850 by the Marquis de Vibraye. Nowadays, in the Cheverny forest and neighboring forests, the crew harvests exclusively deer. Every day, from April to September 14, subject to reservations, at 11:30 a.m., visitors can attend the dog meal. The Château de Cheverny inspired the Château de Moulinsart to the Belgian comic book author, Hergé. The Domaine de Cheverny and the Hergé Foundation have joined forces to create and set up a permanent exhibition on the theme: the secrets of Moulinsart.
