Château de Saint-Agil

En un regard

Le château en bref

Château de Saint-Agil, in the commune of Saint-Agil (Loir-et-Cher), occupies the site of a former lordship dating back to around the year 1000, a vassal of Mondoubleau, which passed from the Le Gallais family to the de la Vove family by marriage in the 14th century. Rebuilt at the end of the 15th century by Antoine de La Vove on the remains of a 13th-century fortress, it has a square plan surrounded by moats about 15 metres wide. The entrance pavilion, built of brick and stone, flanked by two towers and crowned with battlements and a lantern turret, dates from 1510. The main residential block was remodelled in the 18th century. Bought back in 1818 by the Count of Saint-Maixent, the château has been owned since September 2023 by Hugo Bruggière and his wife, who are restoring it. It has been listed as a Monument historique since 13 February 1926.
