Château de Fougères-sur-Bièvre

The initial reconstruction retained the defensive aspect of the castle: moat, openings for cannon, parapet walk, etc.

During the next century, Renaissance refinements, such as a gallery, mullioned windows and steep-sloped roofs were added.

[1] During the 19th century, a spinning mill was installed in the chapel.

The castle was purchased and restored by the state in the 1930s.

[2] It has been listed since 1912 as a historic monument by the French Ministry of Culture.
