Château de Sassay stands in Ligré (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 Ligré, in Indre-et-Loire, the château de Sassay brings together several building periods around a single courtyard: a main house flanked by a polygonal stair tower, a 16th century pavilion with corbelled turrets at its corners, and a 17th century wing set at a right angle. A cylindrical 16th century dovecote completes the group of buildings. The interest lies mainly in this mix of volumes and styles, visible from the courtyard, rather than in any single decorative feature.
