Château des Archevêques stands in Artannes-sur-Indre (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: second half of the 15th century, 19th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In the village of Artannes-sur-Indre, this castle takes its name from the archbishops of Tours who turned it into a pleasure residence from the 15th century onward, built by the riverside facing the village church. Two archbishops, Hélie de Bourdeilles and Christophe de Brillac, died here, their coats of arms still carved on a gateway. The main building, flanked by two towers and covered by an inverted ship's-hull roof frame, was altered in the 19th century but kept its carved window lintels.
