Château du Coudray Montpensier
Description
The Château of Coudray-Montpensier, a former castellany under Montsoreau, is located on the road connecting Chinon to Seuilly, surrounded by fields and vineyards. The history of Coudray-Montpensier dates back to the Middle Ages (11th century). The estate was owned by successive noble families and lineages: the Montsoreau, the Marmande, the Sainte Maure, the Artois, the Bournan, the Bourbon, the Escoubleau, the de Vallière, and finally the Lamote-Baracé family.
The current château was built in the 14th century and significantly enhanced in the 15th century. In the 18th century, architect Anjubault designed the three garden terraces north of the château. Today, the château serves as a venue for hospitality, dining, and events.
