Ruins worth the detour!

Beautiful gardens and an art collection in the castle.

The Château des Brétignolles is one of the rare castles in the Loire in the Gothic style, characteristic of 15th century architecture. It is only visible from the entrance gate on the main road to Chinon, but the small roads which go around its park are, on the contrary, very peaceful.

Ruins of two buildings. The castle, dating from the 15th century, only has scattered remains, while the collegiate church, built in the 16th century, has preserved majestic ruins.

At the heart of an 8-hectare park, the Château de Basché, now a hotel, was built in the 16th century and extended in the 19th century. It has long been owned by a branch of the Richelieu family.

Champigny-sur-Veude is a very old village which was called Campiniacus in 1080. From this period dates the attachment of the parish of Champigny to the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Noyers which will keep the cure and the income until the end of the 15th century. Champigny also has its castle: it is made up of three main buildings forming a "U". The whole building is built in a Renaissance style, and is spread over two levels. The whole is surrounded by a moat supplied with water by the Veude.
