Château d'Armaillé

Château d'Armaillé is a 19th-century château in Loches built from red brick and tuffeau stone in Napoleon III style. The main residence contains five bedrooms surrounded by four outbuildings, with an English-style garden featuring diverse plantings throughout the grounds.

Built between 1839 and 1864 for Count Arthur de Marsay, the château occupies the former grounds of a Capuchin monastery that was transformed following the French Revolution. This location reflects how properties in the region shifted from religious to private ownership during that period.

The château has served as the administrative center for the town's government offices since 1947. This role connects the building directly to the everyday life and governance of the local community.

Visitors can explore the ground floor of the château through guided tours to learn about the rooms and architecture. The English-style garden offers accessible pathways for walking between the different planted areas.

The property borders the Indre River and connects the Royal City of Loches with Beaulieu-les-Loches through protected wetland areas. This location makes the château a key geographic link between two important towns in the region.
