Château de la Touche Hersant

A feudal monument with original defensive features: moat, turrets, arrow slits, posterns... Vivid images of history…

Once an important stronghold, the site has kept its impressive 13th century moat, stone-bottomed ditches and a postern - a monumental gateway guarded by turrets. The corner towers with their arrow slits have not seen an attack for many a year. The castle is mentioned in a document from 1326. However, the primitive feudal castle did not survive the destruction caused during the Revolution. In the 18th century, its ruins were replaced by a new château. The site is also home to a 16th century monastic building.
