Château de Saint-Aignan stands in Saint-Aignan (Loir-et-Cher), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 11th century, 15th century, 16th century, 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Standing on a promontory above the Cher river overlooking the town, the château de Saint-Aignan combines a medieval keep, the Agar tower, with the remains of a 10th century fortress, and a Renaissance wing built at right angles by the Beauvilliers family in the 16th century. The courtyard displays elaborate facades with mullioned windows, pilasters, sculpted niches and dormers topped with pinnacled and shell-decorated gables. A 19th century polygonal tower, added during restoration work, links the two wings.
What to know
- The château is listed as a historic monument, along with its park and the ruins of the earlier medieval fortress.
- The ruins of the original fortress, including the Agar tower, stand opposite the Renaissance building and can be seen as part of a visit.
- No opening hours or admission prices are given in the available data, so it is worth checking locally before visiting.
- The visit is mostly outdoors, around the courtyard and the ruins, on ground that has some slope.
