Le château en bref
Celon Castle (Indre) is a fortified manor house whose origins date back to the 13th century. It is surrounded by moats and ponds and falls under the châtellenie of Argenton. Pierre de La Marche is the first documented holder, in 1291; the fief then passed to the de Céris family (1398), with Jean de Céris probably having built the present château around 1458. It subsequently belonged to the Douhaut family, the Barbançois family (1630–1744), Pierre François de la Porte, and then the de Lagarde family. The main building retains two round towers with machicolations, 15th-century chimneypieces, a guardroom, and medieval-style murals by Raoul-Roger Ballet. Restored, it is owned by the Guez-Kaslin family and sits in a wooded park of 4 hectares.
