Château de Saint-Aignan

The castle features a northern facade adorned with two pavilions constructed from brick and stone, complemented by decorated dormers and mullioned windows.

The original fortress dates back to the 10th century, with Count Eudes I of Blois establishing the initial structure, though only the Agar Tower remains from this period.

The Renaissance castle incorporates architectural elements from different periods, displaying the evolution of French nobility residential construction from the 11th to 17th centuries.

The castle grounds include protected areas such as the park and ancient ruins, with specific sections designated as historical monuments since July 30, 1946.

The castle stands at the intersection of medieval defensive architecture and Renaissance residential design, maintaining both its original tower and later architectural additions.
