in CHATILLON-SUR-INDRE
Tour de César et ensemble castral
The keep and its walls were built under Henry II Plantagenet, lord of Châtillon from 1151 to 1189. The keep and its enclosure remain from this time, as well as the north curtain wall defended by two quadrangular towers.
Description
The Châtillon-sur-Indre keep is one of the last vestiges of a mighty fortified castle built on the orders of Henry II Plantagenet around 1150. It took 10 years to build the tower, reaching 30 m high. This keep is representative of medieval military architecture and is considered to be the oldest cylindrical, vaulted and enclosed keep in France. The strategic location was at the boundary of the Angevin Empire, hence the need to control the borders through mighty fortified towns. The top of the keep affords exceptional views over the beautiful surrounding countryside.
