Overlooking the Maulne valley at the edge of the village, the château of Marcilly-sur-Maulne displays early 17th century architecture inspired by the designs of Androuet du Cerceau, with a central pavilion housing a chapel and staircase. A private property that stayed within the same family line for centuries, the estate retains mural paintings, original timber roofing in the outbuildings, and stables with pink marble mangers. The park, laid out on sloping ground, still shows traces of former gardens and contains the source of a stream near a site occupied since the era of dolmens.
