About Château des Tours
Château des Tours is a castle located in the French department of Indre-et-Loire, in the Loire Valley region. The castle dates back to the 11th century and has been modified and restored several times over the centuries. Originally a fortress built by the powerful Counts of Anjou, it was destroyed during the Hundred Years' War and rebuilt in the 15th century. The castle was later owned by the royal treasurer and then by a wealthy merchant family. In the 19th century, the castle was renovated in a neo-Gothic style by the architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. The castle features a round tower, a drawbridge, and a moat, and is surrounded by a large park. Today, the Château des Tours is privately owned and not open to the public, but visitors can admire the castle from the outside and enjoy the surrounding gardens. The castle is also used for private events, such as weddings and conferences. The Château des Tours is a fascinating example of the rich history and architecture of the Loire Valley region.
