Château de Pocé-sur-Cisse

The stone castle features narrow windows with carved moldings, a cross-shaped arrow slit, and an eastern facade with original window crosspieces dating from the 15th century.

The lordship of Pocé belonged to Rochecorbon in the 13th century before being sold to Jean III de Bueil by the Chauvigny family during the 14th century.

The castle grounds contain iron statues from the former Ducel foundry, representing the industrial heritage of the Loire Valley during the 19th century.

The public park surrounding the castle contains notable specimens including a cedar of Lebanon measuring 7.45 meters in trunk circumference.

The property transformed into an iron factory in 1823 under Louis XVIII's authorization, with Armand Moisant establishing manufacturing operations along the mill stream.
