Feudal Castle of Fréteval

Highlight • Castle

The Feudal Castle of Fréteval is a castle which dates from the 11th century. You can explore the ruins of the fortress, which covers 4.5 hectares and has three lines of defense. You will also be able to see the keep, one of the oldest circular stone towers in France, built in flint. The castle was a strategic location in the conflicts between the Plantagenet kings and the kings of France, and you can learn more about its history from the information panels. The feudal castle of Fréteval is a remarkable place that will transport you to the Middle Ages.

Tertre Manor

Highlight • Castle

If you are interested in 15th century history and architecture, you should visit the Manoir du Tertre in Lignières, a manor which was once a feudal stronghold of the canons of Vendôme. You can walk around the mansion and admire the courtyards, towers, chapel and chimneys that have been preserved from the original construction. You will also be able to discover the families who owned the manor over the centuries, such as the Illiers des Radrets and the Plessis-d'Échelles. You can book a guided tour with one of the current owners, who will tell you more about the history and legends of this place. You will need to book in advance, as the manor is not open to the public all year round.
