Of the 110 castles we list in Cher, these 57 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 57 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Renaissance, spread across 54 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Château d'Ainay-le-Vieil (open to visitors), Château de Meillant (Meillant Castle) (a listed historic monument), Château des Stuarts (Stuarts Castle) (707 reviews), Château de Sagonne (Sagonne Castle) (open to visitors) and Château de Blancafort (Blancafort Castle) (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 10 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 23 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Renaissance, with 57 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
