To make a day of it

Château de Grillemont stands in La Chapelle-Blanche-Saint-Martin (Indre-et-Loire), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 18th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

At La Chapelle-Blanche-Saint-Martin, the château de Grillemont retains three towers and sections of curtain wall from a stronghold built in the 15th century by Bertrand de Lescost, governor of Loches. Its keep was demolished in 1739, and the main courtyard now occupies that spot, lined with wings reworked in the 18th century. Inside, a staircase from the same period survives alongside a music room decorated under the Second Empire, its painted faux marble recalling the Directoire style. The result is a mix of medieval remains and classical ordering, overlooking the Étang Fourché.
