Château de Renay, Medieval castle in Renay, France.

The castle features a circular tower from the 15th century in the northwest, connected to a main building forming a quadrilateral with two pavilions to the south.

The castle fief initially belonged to Guillaume de Renay in 1180 and remained in the same family from 1400 to 1720.

The 12th-century defensive tower was part of a surveillance network along the Loir River, transformed in the 16th century following Renaissance architectural standards.

The facades and roofs of the tower and the 15th-century building have been protected as historical monuments since July 15, 1971.

The seigniorial estate covered 700 hectares, encompassing the lands of Chêne-Carré and La Chapelle-Enchérie.
