Le château en bref
Built in the 13th century by Eudes de Cluis, the Château de Bouesse (Indre) owes its early standing to a deed of 1239 that authorised the lord to exercise high and low justice. Acquired in 1443 by the Gaucourt family, who altered it considerably, it was sold as national property in 1792. It was restored from 1855 by Étienne Thimel and his son, and embellished at the beginning of the 20th century by Georges Poussielgue-Russand. The château combines two corner towers, a round keep with machicolations on corbels, a covered wall-walk and gun-loops, and a Renaissance residential wing with cross-shaped stone mullion windows. It now operates as a hotel and restaurant.
