Lys-Saint-Georges

Highlight • Other

The castle is surrounded by a moat and was built in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries on the remains of an earlier fortress, of which only the 13th century keep remains. The castle was used as a fortress by the English during the Hundred Years War.

Cluis-Dessous Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

Located on a rocky outcrop, the castle of Cluis-Bass occupied a strategic position. In the 12th century, the keep was the oldest part of the building. The slightly more recent curtain wall (12th-13th century) is typical of Plantagenet architecture. The most recent part (14th-15th century), the dwelling is only partially preserved.

Une cheminée bizarre à Saint Denis de Jouhet

Highlight • Other

At the exit of Saint Denis de Jouhet, stands a very strange old brick chimney 15 meters high! At the foot, you can see a building that housed coal-powered pumps that were used to pump water drawn from the stream below to the station located less than 1 km away.
The water thus arrived at the water tower of the "Jouhet" station and was used to power the steam engines.
On old postcards, you can see the chimney and the roof of the building in their environment at the time as well as the station opened on July 1, 1906 on the line from La Châtre to Guéret.

The Fromenteau Dovecote

Highlight • Monument

On the road between Tranzault and Fougerolles, you can discover this pretty, renovated and maintained dovecote in the middle of the fields. It was part of the feudal Château de Fromenteau (15th century), of which nothing remains, and has around 1,400 niches.

View Château de Sarzay

Highlight • Other

With its five towers and moat, Château de Sarzay seems like something straight out of a fairytale. This 15th-century fortress was originally built to protect the village and is one of the best-preserved castles in the Berry region.
