Dating from the 12th century, the Château of Saint-
Brisson-sur-Loire was built on a promontory overlooking the southern slopes of the Loire Valley. It belonged to several distinguished families including the Courtenays and the Séguiers from 1567 and was bequeathed to the commune of Saint-Brisson-sur-Loire in 1987. This edifice welcomed Louis le Gros in 1135 and Philippe Auguste in 1181, underment several transformations according to fashions along the ages. |

This castle, still amazing to see was originally built
as a fortress in the 14th century on a Loire islet. Designed by an architect of King Charles V, it was purchased in 1602 by Maximilien de Bethune (well known under the name of Sully), who was secretary to Henry the 4th. The four towers at each corner of the original keep are still preserved. Each year in June an international music festival is organised on the grounds. |
