En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château d'Onzain, now in the commune of Veuzain-sur-Loire (Loir-et-Cher), occupies the platform of a former château, which was demolished between 1823 and 1826 by the ‘bande noire’, speculators who tore down buildings in order to resell the materials. What remains are its masonry moats, a central island linked by a stone bridge, and a wooden footbridge carrying the remains of the château and its chapel, as well as a partly preserved medieval keep. The barns and storehouses of the outer courtyard are protected. The site has been partially listed as a monument historique since 2014 and houses guest rooms (chambres d'hôtes).
