Château de Laleuf stands in Saint-Maur (Indre), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 18th century). Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on September 5, 2026.

The Château de Laleuf stands in Saint-Maur, in the Indre department, on an estate once belonging to General Bertrand. Built in 1761, the house reflects the taste of provincial bourgeois country residences of the 18th century, with its two side pavilions linked by a gallery added in the following century. The grounds also include former farm buildings inspired by the rational neoclassical models of architect Jean-Nicolas Louis Durand. The estate is now oriented toward outdoor leisure activities, so the building can be glimpsed rather than being the main focus of a visit.

What to know

The château is listed as a historic monument, along with the Réserve estate and the building known as la Garderie.
The estate covers a large area and now hosts outdoor activities such as a tree-top adventure course and horseback rides.
Visiting the château as a historic building is not the main purpose of the site, which now operates as a leisure park.
The 18th-century architecture, with its pavilions and 19th-century gallery, is mostly seen from outside the building.
