42 châteaux listed · verified entries first, then the most visited; alphabetical index at the bottom of the page

Of the 124 castles we list in Loir-et-Cher, these 42 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 42 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Classical period, spread across 40 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Ancien évêché (open to visitors), Château de Troussay (Troussay Castle) (with a restaurant), Château du Gué-Péan (Gué-Péan Castle) (a listed historic monument), Château de Meslay (Meslay Castle) (212 reviews) and Domaine des Grotteaux (you can stay the night).

10 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 7 and the prices of 4 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 10 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Classical period, with 42 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
