Château de Bois-Sire-Amé, Medieval castle ruins in Vorly, France
The castle remains include a square tower with a chapel on the ground floor, featuring vaulted ceilings and stone ribs resting on carved human figures.
King Charles VI granted permission to Jacquelin Trousseau, a wealthy cloth merchant from Bourges, to build this fortress at the end of the 14th century.
The chapel interior contains religious frescoes depicting the Coronation of the Virgin, Holy Trinity, Evangelists, Last Judgment, and Crucifixion scenes.
The castle, classified as a protected historical monument since 1924, remains private property and requires authorization for interior visits.
The name Bois-Sire-Amé originates from an 11th-century feudal mound called Boscus Domini Amelii, predating the current castle structure.
