The château de la Faye stands in Saint-Dizier-la-Tour, in the Creuse department, built on the plan of a former fortified house with a quadrangular enclosure and corner towers. Dating mostly from the late 15th century, its main residential block was enlarged in the 17th century, when the medieval stronghold became a livable manor. Visitors can still see the original truncated towers, a central staircase and old fireplaces, along with a dovecote tower and a bread oven building.
