To make a day of it
Château de Goury stands in Loigny-la-Bataille (Eure-et-Loir), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The château de Goury, built in the 17th century in Loigny-la-Bataille, organises its architecture around a central pavilion marking the main entrance, flanked by corner turrets of square plan. The ensemble, protected as a historic monument, is set within a walled courtyard bordered by dry moats, demonstrating a formal composition typical of the classical period.
What to know
- The castle has been classified as a historic monument since 1964, when protection was first extended to the main entrance, then to all pavilions, buildings and outbuildings.
- The dry moats surrounding the courtyard, though no longer filled with water, form an important element of the architectural composition and are included in the protected designation.
- The corner turrets of the main building and those at the southern limits of the courtyard demonstrate a symmetrical 17th-century architectural scheme.
