Château de Lavardin

The Château de Lavardin is a ruined castle in the village and commune of Lavardin in the Loir-et-Cher department of France. The property of the commune, it has been classified since 1945 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.

The remains of the Château de Lavardin stand on a rocky promontory, above the village and the Loir. Built starting from the beginning of the 11th century by the first lords of Lavardin, the castle was sold to the count of Vendôme around 1130, becoming his principal fortress at the end of the 12th century. Completely altered in the 14th and 15th centuries, it was taken by the members of the Catholic League in 1589, then dismantled the following year on the orders of Henri IV, duke of Vendôme and king of France.
