Château de Culan

1 esplanade du château, 18270 Culan

Medieval fortress in Culan

You simply cannot miss this imposing fortress, which proudly overlooks the Arnon Valley. The castle, one of the best-preserved fortified castles in France, dates back to the 13th century. It continues to fascinate visitors with its massive towers, chestnut-wood hoardings and crenellated curtain walls dating from the 15th century. Its stately rooms feature imposing listed fireplaces, whilst its armoury and other heritage treasures are also on display. Historical figures such as Joan of Arc, Sully, the Duke of Croy, Madame de Sévigné, George Sand and Bernard Buffet are said to have walked its grounds. Unfortunately, this site is currently closed to the public, but from the viaduct you can enjoy an exceptional panoramic view.
