47 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 47 match this criterion, ranked by how visited they are. Opening hours, prices and access checked at the source when the château answers.

We record 47 castles, manor houses and strongholds with heritage protection, spread across 40 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), Site castral de Montbazon (3,092 reviews), Château de Gizeux (Gizeux Castle) (with a restaurant) and Collégiale des Roches-Tranchelion (16th century).

23 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 17 and the prices of 17 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 47 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Renaissance, with 33 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
