Château de Chargé stands in Razines (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: 15th century, 17th century, 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Chargé Castle, located in Razines, stands on a site whose history reaches back to the 11th century, when the estate was entrusted to Noyers Abbey. The fortress visitors encounter today took shape over centuries: its main structure dates from the 14th century, but its present character largely derives from 17th and 18th century additions, including outbuildings, a gatehouse, new chimneys, and a balustraded staircase connecting the keep to the wings. The chapel, whose walls retain murals from the 17th or 18th century, is listed as a historic monument.

What to know

The castle is listed as a historic monument; only the chapel holds formal protection status under an order from 1986.
No information regarding opening times, admission fees, or access conditions is currently available: contact the site or owners directly before your visit.
The main architectural features document eight centuries of continuity and transformation, from the original 14th century plan to the interior modifications of the 17th and 18th centuries.
The balustraded staircase and the link between the keep and the north-west wing illustrate 17th century interventions, a period of major modernisation.
