The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Les Brétignolles sont citées au 9e siècle dans un diplôme de Charles le Chauve et appartenaient alors au chapitre de Saint-Martin. Elles devinrent la propriété de l'abbaye de Marmoutier au 11e siècle. Par la suite, elles passèrent à divers familles. Le château fut probablement construit par Jean Bernard, gouverneur de Loches en 1447. La chapelle fut édifiée en 1507. £Le château se compose d'un bâtiment rectangulaire aux angles flanqués de tours (deux cylindriques, une polygonale et une carrée). Les communs qui se développent à l'ouest du château furent ajoutés au 18e siècle.

Les Brétignolles are cited in the 9th century in a diploma of Charles the Bald and then belonged to the chapter of Saint-Martin. They became the property of the abbey of Marmoutier in the 11th century. Subsequently, they passed to various families. The castle was probably built by Jean Bernard, governor of Loches in 1447. The chapel was built in 1507. The castle comprises a rectangular building with angles flanked by towers (two cylindrical, one polygonal and one square). The outbuildings that develop to the west of the castle were added in the 18th century.
