En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de la Motte, at Vrigny in the Loiret, was a seigneurial site that has since been destroyed. The Inventory's entry describes it as a square enclosure surrounded by moats fed by a spring, whose overflow drained into evacuation ditches that are still visible. The site now lies in the middle of a small wood. The estate belonged to the Boutizeau family, then to Charles de la Motte, before passing in 1601 to François de Gauville, Lord of Ascoux. It later returned to the Saint Hilaire family, and was then bought back in the eighteenth century by the Comte de la Luzerne. The master builder is unknown and the period of construction is not specified.
