Château de Marconnay, Castle and historic monument in Sanxay, France.
The castle features two circular towers with cannon ports, surrounded by a moat accessed through a stone bridge with dual arches.
The Lévesque family owned the castle from 1369 to 1683, after which Charlotte de Vernoux, a lady-in-waiting to Madame de Montespan, acquired it.
The castle houses a museum displaying a collection of traditional tools used by coopers and carpenters from the region's past.
Tours of the castle, gardens, and museum are available through advance reservations, with guided visits offered throughout the regular opening hours.
