The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Le château, connu depuis 1123, subit les aléas de l'histoire (investi par les Anglais ; assiégé par les Huguenots) puis est vendu comme bien national à la Révolution. Au 19e siècle, l'architecte Boyer se voit confier les travaux de remaniement, et érige une chapelle néo-gothique, entre 1856 et 1882. Entouré d'un parc fermé par des grilles 18e, le château se compose d'un corps central à deux niveaux sous lucarnes. De part et d'autre, deux pavillons 19e sous toiture à quatre pentes. Sur l'élévation postérieure, deux tours en demi hors-oeuvre, coiffées de poivrières. A l'intérieur, deux salons ont conservé leurs boiseries 18e, ainsi que plusieurs chambres à l'étage. La chapelle s'ordonne autour d'un module carré central, entouré de quatre chapelles rectangulaires. Elle est ornée par onze vitraux réalisés en 1856 et 1882, par Lobin de Tours puis Fournier.

History
The castle, known since 1123, underwent the vicissitudes of history (invested by the English; besieged by the Huguenots) then was sold as national property at the Revolution. In the 19th century, the architect Boyer was entrusted with renovation work, and erected a Neo-Gothic chapel, between 1856 and 1882. Surrounded by a park enclosed by 18th-century railings, the castle consists of a central body two storeys high under dormers. On either side, two 19th-century pavilions under hip roofs. On the rear elevation, two towers in half projection, topped with pepper-pot roofs. Inside, two drawing rooms have retained their 18th-century panelling, as well as several bedrooms on the upper floor. The chapel is arranged around a central square module, surrounded by four rectangular chapels. It is decorated with eleven stained-glass windows made in 1856 and 1882, by Lobin of Tours then Fournier.
