Adult admission costs 12 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on September 17, 2026.

At the heart of the village of Blancafort, in the Pays-Fort area of Berry, stands a brick château built in the second half of the 15th century for the Boucard family. Its original layout combined a main range, two rounded corner towers and a square keep, before a 17th-century extension under Claude de Faucon added further pavilions and a gallery. Visitors can see this layered architecture, where late Gothic features sit alongside more classical facades.
