Château de la Touanne stands in Baccon (Loiret), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, 18th century, 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Near the village of Baccon in the Beauce countryside, the château de la Touanne shows the H-shaped layout typical of the 17th century, flanked by two entrance pavilions. Its courtyard facade was altered during the Restoration period, with a wide front stairway and a monumental oculus above, while the garden facade keeps its original brick and stone construction. Dry moats still line the approach to the main courtyard, the last visible trace of the water defences that once surrounded the estate.
