This castle consists of a 12th century keep which dominates Saint-Maurice-sur-Loire. A visit to the Romanesque church of Saint-Maurice is essential, as it houses a 13th century fresco. Stop off at the Mure Chantois manor or at the Place du Guet which offers a view of the Loire.
The church of Saint-Maurice, whose origins date back to the 18th century, was the chapel of the castle, hence the name of the castle chapel. Inside the church, on the right-hand side, in a bay window, there is a wall fresco of Saint James with pilgrim's cloak and staff, which was discovered during restoration work in 1999.
