Château des Fontaines

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château des Fontaines stands in the commune of Ivoy-le-Pré, in the north of the Cher, on the border between the Sologne and the Pays Fort. It is one of the manor houses of the commune, alongside the châteaux of Ivoy, de la Cour, de Moison and de la Retraite. The Archives départementales du Cher hold a series of old postcards, shared on Geneanet, that depict it: views of the château from the south-east and south-west sides, a view from the lawn, and a view titled « château et étang des Fontaines ». The estate therefore included a pleasure lawn and a pond bearing the same name. It is a privately owned property. The building is not protected as a monument historique, and no entry in the Inventaire général is devoted to it. Its date of construction and its successive owners are not documented in the sources consulted.
