Château de Fougères-sur-Bièvre
Le Controis-en-Sologne, Italy
The Château de Fougères-sur-Bièvre is a castle in the commune of Fougères-sur-Bièvre, in the French department of Loir-et-Cher. Originally an 11th-century structure, it was entirely rebuilt at the end of the 15th century, with only the large, square keep remaining original. The initial reconstructio
n retained the defensive aspect of the castle: moat, openings for cannon, parapet walk, etc. During the next century, Renaissance refinements, such as a gallery, mullioned windows and steep-sloped roofs were added. During the 19th century, a spinning mill was installed in the chapel. The castle was purchased and restored by the state in the 1930s. It has been listed since 1912 as a historic monument by the French Ministry of Culture.
