The château de Huisseau-sur-Mauves

Originally a simple wooden fort, the château of Huisseau-sur-Mauves was replaced around the 10th century by a fortified castle around which were grouped the dwellings which constitute the embryo of the current village. The land of Huisseau has never left the line of its founders since 1160.

Today, this preserved estate, which has remained little known, opens its courtyard and gardens to visitors. The opportunity for a timeless walk, between greenery and old stones, to discover a long history and the people who wrote it.
