Château de Loches, Royal fortress in Loches, France.

The Château de Loches features a 37-meter high square keep that stands above the town and overlooks the Indre Valley.

King Philip II of France captured the castle in 1204 after intense battles between French and English monarchs for control of the region.

The castle served as residence for notable figures including Joan of Arc, Anne of Bretagne, and Agnes Sorel, the first official royal favorite.

The Royal City of Loches welcomes visitors daily from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, with entrance fees of 10.50€ for adults and 8.50€ for reduced rates.

The castle contains an interactive experience with sounds, videos, and projections that guide visitors through five centuries of French medieval history.
