Overlooking the Loire at Tracy-sur-Loire, this château built at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries retains from its original square layout a Renaissance gateway dated 1567 and a keep joined to a tower. Passed down through the Scottish Stutt family and later the Destutt de Tracy family, it underwent successive alterations in the 16th, 17th and 19th centuries, which reshaped its façades and interiors while erasing the original curtain walls. The estate, now owned by the d'Estutt d'Assay family, includes a vineyard whose land has been cultivated since the 14th century.
