Synopsis: château d'Ainay-le-Vieil is a medieval château built in the 14th century on the site of a 12th-century fortress, in the middle of the village of Ainay-le-Vieil, in the French department of Cher. After purchasing it from Jacques Cœur, Charles de Bigny had a pre-Renaissance Louis XII-style dwelling built between 1500 and 1505. Since 1467, the château has remained in the same family. For three generations in succession, it has been passed down by women, some of whose alliances are both prestigious and well-known. The current owners count Jean-Baptiste Colbert, minister of Louis XIV, among their ancestors.
