The château de Lignières, in the Cher department, is a French classical building erected between 1654 and 1660 by François Le Vau for Jérôme de Nouveau, superintendent of the Postal Service. Its architectural restraint, intentional even though planned decorative elements were never added, makes it a notable example of the style. The estate includes the main house, a gallery, moats and a park, all protected as a historic monument.
