Château de la Bourdaisière, Renaissance château in Montlouis-sur-Loire, France
Château de la Bourdaisière is a Renaissance château set on elevated ground with views toward the Cher Valley, surrounded by extensive gardens and parkland. The building operates as a hotel today while preserving historical gardens and plant collections.
The château was built in the 15th century and served as a residence for influential women during its early centuries. Its historical importance led to legal protection as a registered historic monument.
