Château de Sarzay stands in Sarzay (Indre), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In Sarzay, in the Indre department, stands a fortified castle built at the end of the 15th century. Its rectangular layout flanked by four round corner towers, each containing a small hexagonal chamber, remains clearly visible in the structure today. Water-filled moats, a carved stone gateway, a fortified chapel and an outer courtyard are open to visitors, in a setting George Sand used as the backdrop for her novel Le Meunier d'Angibault.
What to know
- The castle has been listed as a historic monument since 1912.
- The visit covers the exterior: gateway, outer courtyard, moats, chapel and keep entrance.
