Château du Grand-Châtelet stands in Thilouze (Indre-et-Loire), 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). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Thilouze, in the Indre-et-Loire department, the château du Grand-Châtelet stands with its four round towers topped by pepperpot roofs, bordered by moats that still hold water. Built in the 15th century and reworked during the Renaissance, the building has undergone no major alteration since, which explains its listing as a historic monument. A vaulted chapel adjoining the main structure completes the ensemble, which has remained in the same family since the early 18th century.
