Its medieval castle, built in the 12th century, is a notable feature with its impressive architecture.
- Azay-le-Rideau - Constructed in 1527, the Azay-le-Rideau castle is a masterpiece of elegance and whiteness, highlighted by turrets reminiscent of the medieval era.

The Château d’Ussé is unique among the grand châteaux of the Loire, as it remains privately owned and inhabited by the same family for over two centuries. The castle, furnished and occupied by its owner, the Duke of Blacas, also features exquisite French gardens and a Renaissance chapel.
