En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château du Plessis at La Celle-Condé (Cher) is a gentleman's manor house (gentilhommière) probably dating from the 15th century. Rectangular in plan, it has a ground floor and one upper storey beneath a steeply pitched roof ending in two gables. The north and south façades are punctuated at their centre by a round tower, while the gables are flanked by corner turrets with pyramidal roofs pierced with arrow slits. The west tower houses the main entrance, topped by a tympanum outlined with a concave curvilinear triangular moulding, and a stone-and-wood spiral staircase. Despite interior alterations in the 17th and 19th centuries, 15th-century features survive (hooded fireplaces, exposed beams, an old studded door frame). The building (façades, roofs and interiors) has been listed (inscrit) as a historic monument since 27 September 1948.
