Description

The Château d'Argy is a French pre-Renaissance château in the Louis XII style, located in the heart of the Champagne berrichonne, in the commune of Argy, in the department of Indre, in the Centre-Val de Loire region.

The estate of the Château d'Argy offers a historical and architectural view of a plain military site spanning from the Middle Ages to the development of a bourgeois residence in the 19th century. The château, its 17th-century outbuildings and its 40-hectare park make up a heritage whose unity was reconstituted from 1966 by the Club du Vieux Manoir.

The building has been listed as a historic monument since 14 May 1930.
