En un regard
Le château en bref
Nitray Castle is a Renaissance building erected in the first half of the 16th century by Aimery Lopin, mayor of Tours and master of requests to Louise of Savoy, on the site of an earlier building. Built in tuffeau stone, it has a rectangular main range, two stair towers, an entrance gate flanked by two towers (one of which was fitted out as a chapel), and a dovecote. The estate, planted with vines since the 18th century, now produces wines bearing the Touraine appellation. Listed as a monument historique since 17 December 1947, it is open to visitors.
