Château de Boussay stands in Boussay (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: 16th century, 17th century, 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

At Boussay, in Indre-et-Loire, this moated château brings together several centuries of architecture under one roof: a machicolated tower from the medieval fortifications, a classical wing inspired by Mansart, and an 18th-century building that replaced the eastern wing torn down in 1766. Owned by the same family for generations, passed down through marriage and never sold, it is best seen from its surrounding park, as the interior remains private.

Written from Château de Boussay

What to know

The château belongs to the de Becdelièvre family and remains a private residence, with only the park open to visitors.
The building has been listed as a historic monument since 1957, a protection covering the façades, the chapel, the moat and the lime tree avenue.
The water-filled moat and the fixed bridge, which replaced the former drawbridge, still surround the building.
A visit is therefore limited to a walk around the exterior and along the avenue to the south.
