Château d'Herbault

The château features a rectangular main building with two cylindrical towers on the north side, surrounded by moats on three sides.

After a fire destroyed the original structure, reconstruction began in 1525 and continued until 1582, when only the main building was completed.

The building represents French Renaissance architecture through its symmetrical design, refined stonework, and classical proportions typical of 16th-century noble residences.

The château received monument historique inscrit status in 1942, ensuring preservation while maintaining its function as a private residence.

The property includes French formal gardens reconstructed according to historical designs, complementing the architectural ensemble of the estate.
