Château de Vaufoinard stands in Rochecorbon (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). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Vaufoinard is a former smallholding at Rochecorbon that became a substantial residence. Built in the 16th century around a square pavilion, the structure saw extensions in the 19th century that expanded its footprint while preserving its origins. A staircase turret and a projecting section articulate its east façade. The property passed through the hands of several Tours mayors.

What to know

  • Access to the château requires prior contact with the Rochecorbon town hall, as visits are not independently organized.
  • The façades and roofing of the original 16th-century pavilion have been listed as a historical monument since 1946.
  • The building exemplifies 19th-century transformation, with the western wing being extended and raised during that period.
