Château de Noizay stands in Noizay (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: 16th century, 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In Noizay, in the Indre-et-Loire region, this château built in the early 16th century bears the mark of a turbulent episode: it once held weapons for one of the leaders of the Amboise Conspiracy before being stormed and burned. Rebuilt in the 17th century, it now shows a long main building flanked by two wings, topped with dormer windows featuring Renaissance gables and pinnacles. The more composite south facade, added later, opens onto a double staircase likely dating from the Restoration period. Inside, a 17th-century wooden staircase with two straight flights and a square baluster railing is worth noting.
