Château d'Onzain stands in Veuzain-sur-Loire (Loir-et-Cher), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). No visits are on record for this building.
Onzain castle stands in Veuzain-sur-Loire, in the Loir-et-Cher department, on a site occupied since the Middle Ages but largely rebuilt in the 17th century. Surrounded by stone-lined moats still visible today, it witnessed the turbulent history of the lords of Bury and later the Neillac, La Rochefoucauld and Rostaing families. Visitors mainly come for the exterior architecture and surroundings, the moats, platform and former farm buildings, which are listed as historic monuments.
