Château de Maison-Neuve stands in Tournon-Saint-Martin (Indre), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is not open to visitors.

The château de Maison-Neuve is a 15th-century manor house perched on a steep hillside above the Suin valley, in Tournon-Saint-Martin in the Indre department. Held by the du Montier family for more than three centuries, it owes part of its reputation to a local tradition claiming that Joan of Arc spent a night there in 1429, giving the house its nickname of Maison de Jeanne. The building still holds monumental fireplaces, an old roof structure dated through dendrochronology, and traces of a dovecote within its walls. It is currently a private property not open to visitors.

What to know

The château is a private property closed to the public and cannot be visited.
The building stands about 4 km from the centre of Tournon-Saint-Martin, on a hillside overlooking the Suin valley.
Notable features such as the fireplaces, the roof timber frame and the dovecote traces can therefore only be glimpsed from a distance, outside the property.
Restoration work on the exterior facades is underway, labelled by the Fondation du patrimoine.
