En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de Poisieux, at Saint-Georges-de-Poisieux (Cher), is a fortified house (maison-forte) of medieval origin, attested from the late 14th century and remodelled in the 15th–16th centuries to improve residential comfort while retaining its defensive features: dry moats, a drawbridge, a curtain wall pierced with arrow slits and commanded by towers, a central stair tower on the garden façade, a square south-east tower and a medieval round tower housing a chapel with painted Rococo (rocaille) decoration. Farm buildings are arranged around a farmyard (basse-cour). The whole ensemble (main residence, square tower, enclosure walls and the buildings set against them, courtyard, south-east corner tower known as the chapel tower, remains of the large north-east tower) has been listed (inscrit) as a historic monument since 16 October 2009.
