Cors Castle, located in Oulches in Indre, originates from a donation to the abbey of Preuilly in 1066. The site preserves the remains of a medieval fortress significantly transformed in the 17th and 19th centuries: a former keep flanked by two towers, a central logis of circular form, and various outbuildings. The interior contains several 15th-century fireplaces, the probable period of major reconstruction, and the main tower retains traces of its defensive past with machicolations and a circular wall walk.
