Château-haut de Château-Renard stands in Château-Renard (Loiret), in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Middle Ages). No visits are on record for this building.

The upper castle of Château-Renard survives today as ruins, designated a historic monument. An entrance gateway flanked by two towers and foundation stones mark what remains of this medieval fortress. Over time, dressed stone and hewn rubble were stripped from the structure and repurposed in private construction.

What to know

  • The monument has been protected under French historic monument law since 1911.
  • A visit appeals to those prepared to observe fragmentary ruins and surface archaeology rather than a reconstructed building.
  • The ruins are accessible to view, but without visitor facilities or posted hours: inquire with the local municipality before travelling.
