This week in the agenda

Château de la Vicomté stands in Blois (Loir-et-Cher), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In the Grouëts district on the western edge of Blois, the château de la Vicomté combines several centuries of additions and alterations within a single main building. The 16th-century façade stands out, with its enclosed loggia on corbels above the entrance door. Brick turrets, a polygonal stair tower and a round dovecote in the kitchen garden round out this layered ensemble, originally the seat of the viscounts of Blois in the Middle Ages.

Written from Château de la vicomté de Blois
