Château de Sarzay, a castle in the village of Sarzay, Indre département, France, dates back to the 15th century. This historic monument features 38 towers and three drawbridges, as well as numerous furnished rooms that keep their historical authenticity. The beauty of the site is completed by restored deep moats, a chapel, and a hall. The castle has survived the Hundred Years War, the Wars of Religion, the Fronde, and the French Revolution, and today is one of the most photographed monuments in France.
George Sand used the castle as a setting in her novel 'le Meunier d'Angibault' (1847). In 1982, Château de Sarzay was bought for 790,000 francs and is open to the public. It has been classified as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 1912. Peek into the castle's tower, walk through its halls, and see firsthand how time has aged one of France's most exciting historical sites.
