Château de Troussay 4Château de Troussay

Troussay castle The smallest of the Loire castles!

Still inhabited today, Château de Troussay is one of the Loire’s smallest châteaux, located in the French commune of Cheverny.

Just 3 km from the Château de Cheverny, Troussay, still inhabited, is a mosaic of precious antique interior and exterior decor, combined with beautiful 16th, 17th and 18th century furnishings. The picturesque Sologne outbuildings evoke the closerie of Raboliot, the famous poacher.

The serene English park offers contemporary Land Art animations, and in 2017, artist Bruno Beillard installed insects made from recycled materials. The model henhouse features an array of original and amusing gallinaceous creatures.

The boutique, in addition to numerous vintage products, offers a select and typical assortment of regional products, as well as picnic baskets.

The château is built on the model of medieval castles, with a central square building, the keep, and four towers at each corner. Inside the keep, there are five habitable levels built on the same model: four square apartments and four apartments in the round towers per level.

The double staircase is at the center of the building, giving access to the second floor (historical apartments), the second floor (dedicated to hunting and wildlife art) and the large terrace, before being crowned by the lantern tower and the fleur-de-lis, symbol of the French monarchy.

The house is small, but how happy if it's full of friends! 

Themistocles

This privately-owned and inhabited château has belonged to the Marcotte de Sainte-Marie family since 1900. In addition to the castle’s rooms, which have been listed as a historic monument since 2000, visitors can also discover an eco-museum in the outbuildings, recounting life in Sologne in days gone by.

Construction of Troussay began in the mid-15th century, but the first mentioned owner was not until the Renaissance. He was Robert de Buggy, lord of Troussay and squire to King François I.

In 1828, the château was acquired by the de la Saussaye family. Louis de la Saussaye, a friend of Prosper Mérimée and Félix Duban, restored the château. The François I façade refers to the architecture of Chambord, while the Louis XII façade evokes the Renaissance period.
