Château de Saint-Loup-sur-Thouet, 17th century castle in Saint-Loup-Lamairé, France.

The castle features an H-shaped design with brick and stone pavilions topped by high slate roofs in Louis XIII architectural style.

The original fortress dates from the 11th century, while the current structure was built in the early 1600s by the influential Gouffier family.

The castle gardens contain collections of traditional plant species cultivated since the 18th century, including ornamental vegetable gardens and orchards.

The estate extends over 50 hectares and includes service buildings such as a pigeon loft, orangery, ice house, and farm facilities.

The master tower contains four levels with a coat of arms of the Dercé family carved on a medallion in a window embrasure.
