An exceptional medieval site in the heart of the Renaissance castles, discover the Montrichard Keep built on a natural rocky outcrop that dominates the city and offers an exceptional view of the Cher valley. Its majestic Carrée Tower, built in the 12th century by the Amboise family, was built to guard the valley. In the 15th century, at the foot of the keep, King Louis XI built very large royal houses overlooking the church Sainte Croix, which was then the chapel of the castle. The Fortress of Montrichard was declared a Historic Monument in 1877.
