Château de la Guerche, Medieval castle in La Guerche, France
The castle stands on the banks of the Creuse River, featuring two gate towers, a drawbridge entrance, and extensive grounds with an English garden.
Construction of the castle began during Charles VII's reign for Antoinette de Maignelais, cousin of the king's former mistress, and endured sieges in the Religious Wars.
The castle maintains its function as both a family residence and a historical monument, representing the architectural heritage of the Loire Valley region.
Visitors can join guided tours from June to September at specific times: 10:00, 11:30, 14:30, 16:00, and 18:00, with admission fees of 8 euros for adults.
The vaulted basements of the castle served multiple purposes throughout history, functioning as grain storage, artillery storage, and a prison for the local lord.
