Château de Jallanges

In 1213, Jallanges belonged to René du Perray, a knight-banneret, and later to Jean Gaudin, a canon of Tours, in 1462. Built in 1465 by Louis XI for his treasurers, it was elevated to a castellany in 1631. The château features brick-and-stone Renaissance architecture, a 17th-century chapel (listed as a historical monument in 1946), a cedar park, a rose garden with 2,000 roses, a French Renaissance garden, and a gallery with trompe-l'œil frescoes dedicated to the Loire and Renaissance gardens.

Louis XI dismantled the original fortress to build a Renaissance-inspired château, reusing its materials. Over the centuries, it passed through numerous owners before being sold as national property in 1798. After neglect in the 20th century, it was purchased in 1984 by the Ferry-Balin family, who restored it and now host events and galas.
