Accueil Organise your stay Visits Châteaux & monuments Château-musée de Gien. Chasse, Histoire et Nature en Val de Loire
The château marks the entrance to the famous Valley of Kings and is the starting point of the Road to Compostela. Created by Anne de Beaujeu at the end of the 15th century, it houses the Museum of Hunting which includes one of the largest hunting art collections in Europe.
Description
The château was built at the end of the 15th century by Anne de Beaujeu, eldest daughter of Louis XI and regent of France, on the site of a medieval fortress where Joan of Arc may have stayed. The architecture of the Château de Gien is characteristic of the beginning of the French Renaissance. Unfortunately, the interior was treated badly due to its various uses (sub-prefecture, court of law, prison).
