Château d'Ingrandes stands in Ingrandes (Indre), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Middle Ages, 13th century, 14th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Built in the 14th century in Indre, Ingrandes Castle follows the medieval fortified plan of geometric enclosures flanked by corner towers. A keep, integrated into this defensive system, served as the main stronghold. Residential and service buildings once stood against the inner walls, typical of fortresses from this period. Today, the site preserves partial foundations and walls: the corner towers and keep remain as ruins, while the western wall and most of the interior structures have been lost.
