Castles and Manor Houses

The Sancerre region features a dense concentration of defensive architecture and aristocratic estates spanning the 12th to the 19th centuries. This collection includes the Tour des Fiefs, the final vestige of a once-formidable medieval fortress, alongside Renaissance manor houses like Château de Beaujeu and the fortified complex of La Tour de Vesvres. These sites illustrate the transition from military strongholds to elegant residences, often integrated with the region’s historic winemaking traditions and the rugged landscape of the Pays-Fort.
