Nemours Castle was built starting in the 12th century. In 1926, the castle was listed as a historic monument in France. It is located on the left bank of the Loing River and near the old bridge, allowing it to serve as a defense for the town and a watchtower for the bridge. The fortress-like castle was rebuilt in the 15th and 17th centuries.

This door, which appears medieval, does not go unnoticed with its two towers and the battlements of its curtain wall. Make no mistake, it was built in 1928 on the initiative of Mrs. Belmont, an American national, then owner of the Augerville castle. This gate now belongs to the commune of Boulancourt.

Very beautiful village which is definitely worth the detour. You can notably discover its castle, built in the 13th century under Philippe Auguste. Don't hesitate to dismount and take a walk in the pedestrian part of the village.

Château d'Augerville is a historic castle located in the commune of Augerville-la-Rivière, in Loiret, France. It dates back to the 12th century, when it was a hamlet and fort for the d'Augerville family. It changed hands several times during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and hosted important figures such as Catherine de Medici and King Charles IX. In the 17th century, it was sold to the taxes and renovated into a country house by Jean Perrault de Montevrault. It remained a private residence until the 21st century, when it was transformed into a 5-star hotel with a golf course, spa and chocolate factory. It is a historic monument, a national heritage site of France.

There are only a few of this architecture in France, it remains one of the most remarkable with that of Milly-la Forêt. The construction of the hall, which initially had 8 bays and no south gable, dates back to the end of the 15th century. It followed a first work destroyed by the fire of the village in 1282. The frame whose base is in oak initially rested on the ground which, by humidity, damaged the wood. In 1666, it was necessary to remove a span to build the south gable in masonry, to install transverse and longitudinal oblique reinforcements and to rest the 28 feet on stone plinths (again replaced in 1769). During 2003, it underwent a complete restoration which made it possible to reestablish some truths about its construction and put an end to the legend which attributed its construction to Anne de Pisseleu in 1540 with a chestnut frame explaining the absence of cobwebs. It still houses the Monday morning market.
