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

Of the 303 castles we list in Indre-et-Loire, these 149 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 149 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Renaissance, spread across 99 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Domaine de Chenonceau (open to visitors), Château d'Ussé (Ussé Castle) (a listed historic monument), Château-Gaillard (16th century), Château de Gizeux (Gizeux Castle) (with a restaurant) and Château Vieux de Candes (you can stay the night).

26 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 23 and the prices of 15 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 33 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Renaissance, with 149 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
