Of the 124 castles we list in Loir-et-Cher, these 47 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 47 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Middle Ages, spread across 41 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château de Selles-sur-Cher (Selles-sur-Cher Castle) (open to visitors), Château de Vendôme (Vendôme Castle) (a listed historic monument), Château de Troussay (Troussay Castle) (with a restaurant), Château de Montrichard (Montrichard Castle) (11th century) and Domaine des Grotteaux (you can stay the night).

11 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 8 and the prices of 6 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 11 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Middle Ages, with 47 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
