Château de l'Estang stands in Orbigny (Indre-et-Loire), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. No visits are on record for this building.
The Château de l'Estang stands on a headland in Orbigny, in the Indre-et-Loire region, at the point where two streams meet to feed the pond that gave it its name. Built in the 15th century and substantially reworked the following century in the Louis XII style, it retains a round tower with machicolations and a wall walk from its defensive origins. The main feature is an arcaded gallery opening onto the courtyard, whose capitals carved with the arms of the Noroy family recall the style of the Charles d'Orléans gallery at the Château de Blois.
