Built in the 16th century and remodeled in the 19th century, the Château de la Grillère was successively the property of François de Beauharnais, ancestor of Napoleon III, of the count of Choiseul-Gouffier, French ambassador to Constantinople on the eve of the Revolution, then of the Emperor Napoleon III.
Now privately owned, the pink and black brick construction reveals the various interventions that the castle has undergone, both on the facades and on the roofs.
Composed of two main buildings, the whole is structured around an open courtyard, surrounded by a moat.
Characterized by singular architectural fragments, either from a medieval vocabulary (pepper shakers, archers, etc.), or brought back to the 19th century by Anglo-Saxon borrowings (strains of twisted brick chimneys, cross bricks and stones, pepper shakers), this castle has required successive work campaigns since 2008, intended initially for its conservation and secondly, for its transformation into a family residence.

"A very old church; two buttresses would allow us to date it to the 11th century," we learn. "Rebuilt in the 13th century, damaged during the Hundred Years' War, it was rebuilt again in the 16th century before being burned down during the Wars of Religion and then looted during the Revolution. Its last restoration dates back to 2014."

La Ferté-Saint-Aubin Castle

Highlight • Castle

The parking lot is free. After admission (from 4 years you have to pay, children € 6.50, adults € 9.50) you can visit the entire castle with a total of 15 open rooms and the spacious park. You can play a lot of games here, mini golf, and experience an exciting course or an escape room adventure for an extra entrance fee. We were thrilled by the old walls and felt transported back into another century. A real INSIDER TIP !!! (only 18km south of Orléans)

The construction of the castle was undertaken in 1625 by Henri I de la Ferté-Senneterre. The residence surrounded by a moat stands on the banks of the Cosson river.

You can explore the castle, the gardens, the 40-hectare natural park, or even taste their famous honey madeleines which are prepared in the kitchens.
