and people could keep theirs letters, jewels and other precious objects.

The park makes it easy to see the walls of the castle and the covered way.
In the XIX th century the creation of a barrage on the Indre river
enabled the conversion of the ditches into a true lak.
 
 
 

In the west part of the castle we can find a small gothic chapel
that was restored after the important damage of the second world war.
