Le château en bref
Cour-sur-Loire Castle (Loir-et-Cher) stands on the banks of the Loire, between Blois and Ménars, near the church of Saint-Vincent. Its origins date back to 1492, when Jacques Hurault, Treasurer of France under Louis XII, acquired the estate and had the central body of the residence built. A north-east wing was added in the 16th century. The estate then enjoyed a second life in the 19th century: a garden was laid out in 1829, a chapel was built in 1842, and the château was enlarged in the 1840s and 1850s. The terraces and the park overlooking the river contribute greatly to the character of the site. The château, a privately owned property listed as a monument historique, opens its exterior and park to free guided visits for part of the summer.
