Le château en bref
The Château de l'Épine, in Ciron (Indre), stands on the site of a priory that belonged to the Abbey of Fontgombault and was sold as national property in 1791. The main body, built by the Lescot de Lamillanderie family in the last quarter of the 19th century, was extended by Gustave du Puynode, president of the conseil général of the Indre (1879–1882), who added two two-storey neo-Renaissance pavilions with pinnacled dormers and a corner turret. In 1901, M. Lagrenée had the roof restored and the attics fitted out under the direction of the architect Alfred Trolliet. Privately owned; not open to visitors.
