Yssertieux Castle, located in Chalivoy-Milon in the Cher department, is a fortified residence with origins dating to the 11th century. Four towers and their curtain walls, likely built in the 14th century, form its defensive core. The site underwent several transformations: an entrance structure was added in the 15th century, a new residence replaced the keep on the north side in the 17th century, and significant modifications took place in the 19th century. The entire complex, listed as a historic monument, reflects the evolution of a lordly residence from the medieval period through the modern era.
