Château de Saint-Brisson

Description

Château de Saint-Brisson was built by the de Sancerre family in the early 13th century on the site of a 12th-century construction. It was transformed into a beautiful, grand and stately manor house during the 16th century. 

Today Château de Saint-Brisson is a tourist attraction. Through the 14 furnished rooms, visitors can discover, from the kitchen to the roof beams, a magnificent, characterful château overlooking a unique landscape between the Loire and the countryside. An additional unique feature is the Children's Museum which, through a well-stocked, antique, photograph and document collection, retraces the history of a child's life growing up in the region: René Chevreau, an adventurer and one of the pioneers of military aviation. Yet, the real attraction of the château each summer is the firing demonstrations of medieval war machines.
