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.
Ogrodzieniec Castle is a ruined medieval castle originally built in the 14th–15th century by the W³odkowie Sulimczycy family. Established in the early 12th century, during the reign of Boles³aw III Wrymouth, the first stronghold was razed by the Tatars in 1241. In the mid-14th century a new gothic castle was built here to accommodate the Sulimczycy family. Surrounded by three high rocks, the castle was well integrated into the area. The defensive walls were built to close the circuit formed by the rocks, and a narrow opening between two of the rocks served as an entrance.
In 1470 the castle and lands were bought by the wealthy Cracovian townsmen, Ibram and Piotr Salomon. Then, Ogrodzieniec became the property of Jan Feliks Rzeszowski, the rector of Przemy¶l and the canon of Cracow. The owners of the castle about that time were also Jan and Andrzej Rzeszowskis, and later Pilecki and Che³miñski families. In 1523 the castle was bought by Jan Boner.
