Château de la Brosse

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de la Brosse, in Saint-Laurent-en-Gâtines (Indre-et-Loire), occupies a fief first mentioned in 1285 (“Erallum de Broceria”), later as “Vieille Brosse” in 1499. Held in the sixteenth century by François Cochinard, then by Nicolas de Badoux and the Préaux family, it belonged from the late seventeenth to the early nineteenth century to the de Salmon family. The present château dates from 1841; it subsequently passed to the Wagner family and then to the Mac Carthy family (1902–1999). Privately owned, it now offers guest rooms.
