Not far from Cheverny and its famous château is a much less famous Loire Valley castle: Troussay. Construction started on the building in the mid-fifteenth century, but the building's current form dates from the Renaissance, with another significant addition in the eighteenth century.
Le château de Troussay in black and white. July 2006.
The castle is privately owned and lived-in, but visitors are allowed, for a modest fee, in some of the ground-floor rooms and in the adjacent garden and park. It's worth a stop if you're in the area and a nice change from the grander, more crowded châteaux.
So, have you been inside?
ReplyDeleteThat's a really interesting building. That towner in the front that looks so different, is very unusual.
This looks more homey than many others.
