Châtelier Castle

Highlight • Castle

This castle was built in the 12th and 13th centuries during the wars between the Kingdom of England, which owned Aquitaine, and that of France. Located on a limestone rock 430 meters in circumference, it is surrounded by a deep ditch into which water could flow at will through canals, two of which still remain. It could be entered by means of two opposing drawbridges, one of which was for pedestrians. The most spectacular feature of this fortress is the beaked dungeon, built around 1180, where the lord lived. It is a huge cylindrical tower 25 meters high and 9 meters in diameter. It had five floors with a staircase in the thickness of the wall from the second floor. To the left of the keep is the bread oven and to the right the stables.

Grand-Pressigny Prehistory Museum

Highlight • Historical Site

The Grand Pressigny, its museum and its castle, is a high place of prehistory. The quality of the flint is such in this town that the site has been used since time immemorial by man to extract the large flint blades from their cores.

These cores (which are in fact the remains of the extraction) have raised so many questions, because they were found everywhere in the surrounding fields without understanding their meanings. The locals have nicknamed them "pounds of Butter" sic! They are sometimes found on the walls of houses in the village, like kinds of talismans. You will learn all this by visiting the museum which is exciting.

In front of the museum esplanade, are the remains of the Château du Grand Pressigny as well as statues of animals from prehistoric times (such as the megaceros) which are quite realistic. For more information :
