Near Vierzon, the Château d'Autry is a large rectangular range of buildings dating from the 16th century, altered over time and refaced in the 18th century, its three wings enclosing a courtyard flanked by round and square turrets. The approach drive crosses the former working courtyard before passing between two pools linked by a wrought iron grille, marking the entrance to the court of honour. The estate stayed in the same family, the Étampes, for nearly four centuries following a marriage alliance made in 1448. A chapel, a dairy and a dovecote also remain, recalling the estate's agricultural past.
