Château d'Azay-le-Ferron

The castle combines architectural elements from different periods, featuring a 15th-century tower integrated with 17th-century structures and Renaissance decorative motifs.

Built by Prégent Frotier in the late 15th century, the castle underwent major transformations in 1638 when Louis III de Crevant added new wings and pavilions.

The castle displays 15 furnished rooms containing collections from renowned cabinet makers and decorative pieces originally from a private mansion in Versailles.

The castle opens its doors to visitors throughout the year, offering guided tours and special events, including theatrical performances with actors in period costumes.

The gardens feature one of France's largest collections of topiary art, with precisely sculpted bushes creating geometric patterns and artistic shapes.
