Château de l'Isle, Renaissance château near Loire River in Saint-Denis-en-Val, France.

The château features two identical square pavilions reaching 11.80 meters high, flanking a central stair turret rising to 13.20 meters.

Jacques Groslot, bailiff of Orléans and chancellor of Marguerite de Navarre, initiated the construction of this château in 1530.

The château served as a refuge for Protestant followers during religious conflicts after the destruction of their temples in the 16th century.

The ruins of Château de l'Isle stand on Rue de l'Isle in Saint-Denis-en-Val, approximately 5 kilometers southeast of Orléans.

The Loire River flood of 1866 caused extensive damage to the structure, leading to its current state of preserved ruins.
