Château de Boisbonnard stands in Villeperdue (Indre-et-Loire), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century, 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Boisbonnard Castle, built in the 14th century at Villeperdue, remains a medieval fortress distinguished by five circular towers and the moated defences that once enclosed it. The main dwelling was transformed from the 16th to 19th centuries through successive restorations and architectural additions reflecting changing tastes: 17th-century pavilions, a 19th-century extension, and outbuildings in Empire and Neo-Gothic styles. Inside, the salon retains its Louis XVI woodwork and two period fireplaces.

What to know

The listed elements include the five towers, the moats and the straight staircase of the main building, registered in 1990.
The castle sustained significant damage during World War II, particularly affecting the salon woodwork and the former outbuildings.
