15th-century castle on the banks of the Creuse River, located in parkland. You visit the guard room, reception rooms, vaulted cellars, which were used as a grain store, artillery room, and seigneurial prison. The tour begins with a presentation of the exterior of the castle.
The Château de la Guerche, built on the banks of the Creuse River, is a remarkable example of 15th-century architecture. Open throughout the summer, a one-hour guided tour takes you through the vaulted cellars, which house artillery casemates, prison cells, and granaries, then through the castle courtyard, and finally to the fully furnished reception rooms. The tour gives you a glimpse into the history of the castle, marked by the Wars of Religion and French Revolution, and the stories of those who helped make Château de la Guerche a landmark between Touraine and Poitou not to be missed. This historic monument is set in a landscaped garden, planted in the 19th century, which is also open to visitors.
