Château du Moulin

Château du Moulin belongs to the French commune of Lassay-sur-Croisne in the department of Loir-et-Cher in the Centre-Val de Loire region. The free-standing, rectangular moated château, whose broad moats are fed by a tributary of the Croisne, was built between 1480 and 1500 by the court architect Jacques de Persigny and comprehensively restored in 1947. After it had been entered in the register of monuments in January 1926 (French: inscrit), classification (French classé) as a Monument historique followed on 27 April 1927.
