Above the town of Loches, on a rocky plateau, lies a royal complex. It includes three large building complexes: one of the oldest keep (medieval tower houses) in France in the south, a collegiate church in the center, and the Logis Royal (the royal castle) in the north. The entire complex is surrounded by a nearly two-kilometer-long ring wall. The entire complex is very impressive. If you're in the area, you should definitely take a detour to Loches. You can find interesting information about the complex on Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Loches

The donjon is a residential tower or defensive tower of a medieval castle in the French cultural area. The donjon is 36 meters high, has a square floor plan, and is characterized by an excellent state of preservation. It was probably built by Fulk III of Anjou in the 11th century. In the 15th century, the fortress was converted into a royal prison by Louis XI. It houses the cells of Philippe de Commynes, Cardinal Balue, and the Duke of Milan, who spent his time painting murals. In 1801, Napoleon I transferred the state prison to the department. The donjon was used as a prison until 1926. In any case, it is an impressive complex, as is the entire town of Loches, which is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Very pretty village, pleasantly flowery. The detour is worth it!

Two buildings placed one after the other constitute the Logis Royal. The first in the south was built by Charles VI around 1370 and the second in the north by Louis XII around 1498. The two wings were built in a Gothic style. In 1429, Joan of Arc met Charles VII in the great hall of the first to go to be crowned in Reims. A few years later, in 1444, the same king installed his first mistress Agnès Sorel in the house. She had three daughters by her lover, whom he legitimized by thus allowing them to marry later with the greats of the kingdom. Anne de Bretagne stayed at the Logis Royal between 1492 and 1510, in her role as Queen of France as the wife of Charles VIII and then Louis XII. She built an oratory decorated with her emblems, the ermine and the Cordelière. The cord of Anne de Bretagne represents the cord of the Franciscans where the knots are replaced by lakes of love.
