Château d'Igny

En un regard

Le château en bref

Château d'Igny stands at the hamlet of Igny, a sizeable outlying settlement just south-east of the village of La Perche, in the south of the Cher department, not far from Saint-Amand-Montrond. The house, set within an estate of roughly 23 hectares, is today run as a bed-and-breakfast with a table d'hôte: its present owners, who settled in the region in 2019, offer six guest rooms, while the outbuildings and the grounds are undergoing gradual renovation. The sources consulted do not document the early history of the château nor the date of its construction. Its more recent past, however, is attested: according to a file held by the Archives départementales d'Indre-et-Loire, the writer and polemicist Michel-Georges Micberth and the "communauté de Limeray" settled there in September 1970 and founded the Centre national de psychosexologie normale et pathologique there.
