En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de la Dixme is located in Fontenay (Indre). The Boisvilliers family acquired the estate in the second half of the 16th century, probably through the marriage of Odet in 1575. The oldest part, the wing at right angles, dates from the early 18th century; the main block, three storeys high, was built in 1771 by Charles-François de Boisvilliers, the last lord, who died in 1807. His son-in-law, Jacques de Fougères, added a wing in the 19th century, with a mansard roof. A square tower, former tithe barns and a theatre in the 18th-century style complete the ensemble. Private property, not open to visitors.
