Château de Troussay, Renaissance castle in Cheverny, France
The Château de Troussay stands as the smallest castle in the Loire Valley, featuring a collection of decorative elements from the 15th to 19th centuries.
Louis de la Saussaye, a friend of historian Prosper Mérimée, rescued architectural elements from abandoned Loire Valley monuments and incorporated them into the castle during renovations.
The castle houses exhibitions about domestic life in 19th-century castles, displaying collections of antique toys and traditional Sologne regional artifacts.
Visitors can explore the castle from April to September, with admission rates of 10 euros for adults and 7 euros for children under seven years old.
The English-style park contains numerous rare trees listed in the Loir-et-Cher remarkable tree inventory, with informational panels explaining their characteristics.
