# Château de Contebault

Huismes, Indre-et-Loire, Centre-Val de Loire

Château de Contebault stands in Huismes (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). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

At Huismes, near Chinon, the château de Contebault still looks like the fortified manor it once was, later extended with an unfinished pavilion. The main range dates from the early 16th century, with corbelled turrets, while a square pavilion was added in the following century as part of a grander scheme that its owner, ruined by debt, never completed. Surviving loopholes recall its original defensive purpose, and a domed stair tower fills the angle between the two wings.

**No visits on record.** No opening hours or ticketing found.
