In Luçay-le-Mâle, in the Indre department, the manoir de la Foulquetière is a 15th century farming estate set away from main roads. It combines a main dwelling extended in the 19th century, a chapel attached to the gable end and framed by carved pilasters, and a gatehouse flanked by a defensive tower. The inner courtyard, closed to the south by a later square dovecote, gives the whole its character of a fortified rural domain.
What to know
- Only the chapel is listed as a historic monument, since 1978.
- The manor now operates as a bed and breakfast and wedding venue, which affects access to the buildings.
- The site lies away from main roads, in the countryside of the Berry region.
- Visiting conditions, opening times and prices are not documented, so checking in advance is advisable.
