Jaligny Castle

Highlight • Castle

This medieval castle is located on the banks of the Besbre. The castle dates from the 10th century and belonged to the noble family of Amboise, who also owned the famous Chateau de Chaumont in the Loire Valley. You can admire the architecture of the castle, which includes two round towers, a fortified gate and a courtyard with polygonal turrets. You can also discover the remains of an old French garden with a central pond. The castle is privately owned and not open to the public, but you can enjoy the view from the outside and take some great photos. Jaligny-sur-Besbre Castle is a hidden gem that will make you feel like you've stepped back in time.
