En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Madon, in Candé-sur-Beuvron (Loir-et-Cher), was originally a pleasure residence of the counts of Blois. Around the year 1000 it passed to the abbey of Saint-Lomer, and it later became a country house of the bishops of Blois after the abbey was incorporated into the bishopric in 1698. The château was rebuilt between 1468 and 1505, enlarged with a Louis XIII wing, and the present main body dates from around 1770. It includes a 16th-century pavilion, a large terrace and, in the park, a domed chapel built over a spring. Privately owned, the château, park, chapel, outbuildings and gate have been listed as a historic monument since 1948.
