In Farges-Allichamps, in the Cher department, the château de la Brosse stands on the site of a medieval hunting residence destroyed by fire in 1862. Rebuilt over the following decade in a neo-gothic style decorated with motifs drawn from medieval civil architecture, it rises within a landscaped park laid out by Paul de Lavenne de Choulot, complete with a grotto, ponds and an island. The whole estate, including the château, outbuildings, park and a water tower, retains a notable unity since it was all conceived as a single project between 1862 and 1870.
