Château de Saint-Martin

En un regard

Le château en bref

Saint-Martin Castle is located in Landes-le-Gaulois, in the Loir-et-Cher department, on the banks of the Cisse. The site retains the remains of an 11th-century church, sold in 1792 as national property to François-Quentin Rabouin, the first mayor of Landes; it was demolished in 1793 and its ruins levelled in 1882. The estate belonged to the Le Fuzelier and then de Bault families (1653–1711), to Charles Gaspard Dodun from 1719, and then to the Rabouin, Ferrand and Chauvin families until 2002, before being taken over again in 2018. Works carried out in 2019–2020 restored the roofs and the 1830 greenhouse, and recreated a French formal garden based on plans from 1930.
