Château de Châtigny

En un regard

Le château en bref

Châtigny Castle, in Fondettes near Tours, is a fortified château dating from the late fifteenth century, composed of two wings set at right angles, flanked by round corner towers and enclosed by a walled precinct with a fortified entrance. The gables and upper parts of the towers display a chequerboard decoration of brick and stone. The courtyard façades were extensively remodelled in Flamboyant Gothic Revival style at the end of the nineteenth century. The site retains remains of a Gallo-Roman villa; 2006 is the year of its registration as a monument historique.
