Château de Môh stands in Candes-Saint-Martin (Indre-et-Loire), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 17th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Château de Môh was a secondary residence of the Archbishops of Tours, built on a site continuously occupied since Roman times. The complex combines structures from the late 17th century (outbuildings), the 19th century (main house), and a medieval tower that was restored. The property is notable for its baroque terrace with three-sided projection and the Tower of Aubigny, which once defended Candes fortifications and overlooks the moated grounds.

What to know

The main house retains 19th-century interior decoration, including a first-floor room with wallpaper depicting mythological scenes and period woodwork.
Access passes through a courtyard surrounded by outbuildings, leading to the main residence and the Tower of Aubigny, which overlooks the moat.
The façades, roofs, terrace with its retaining walls, and tower are protected as registered historic monuments since 1977.
