Beautiful castle undergoing renovation. Bucolic setting. Private but can be discovered from the road.

An interesting addition to the visit to the Saint-Martin de Glénay church This place offers ruins but also entire buildings to see. The whole is rich enough to nourish the imagination and curiosity. This castle which housed Richelieu for a while benefits from numerous protections from the M.H.: facades and roofs of the outbuildings, some plots, the piers of the bridge over the Thouaret (in 1995). Home, chapel and dovecote (in 2000). Built in the 12th century, often remodeled, enlarged, but also repaired after the Hundred Years and Religious Wars, it was largely rebuilt in the 16th century then demolished during the revolution. Access to the ruins is easy, but you cannot enter the buildings for reasons of security and/or closed private property.

Good but not visitable, private land, on heritage days visit possible, castle in ruins, but interesting. Listed church in Glénay heritage days.

Remains of a castle in a bucolic setting, a footbridge below, old mills on the hillside, like a moment of stopping in time, some research and time could restore this place to its aura, but it is emanates like a poetry of abandonment.
