In Brux, in the Vienne department, Épanvilliers castle displays a sober classical architecture dating from the last third of the 18th century, framed by two pavilions and two wings set behind a moat. Inside, visitors find more than twenty furnished rooms along with a grand staircase featuring a wrought-iron banister, and part of the estate now houses a museum of old games. A chapel, located in the south wing, rounds out an ensemble shaped by centuries under a single family before its classical remodelling.
