A new lease of life for the château d'Ainay-le-Vieil
Ainay-le-Vieil, a fortified château on a plain in the Cher department (18), with its towers, moat, guardhouse and parapet walk... straight out of the Middle Ages. A historical treasure dating back to the 13th century, it is home to a graceful residence combining flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance styles, built at the end of the 15th century by the Seigneur de Bigny.
The Seigneur de Bigny's descendants have lived here since 1467, and the superb, majestic salons still house many memorabilia of illustrious figures, from Colbert to Marie-Antoinette and Napoleon.
A privately-owned historic monument, open to the public since the 1950s, it's like an old man, still in shape but a little tired, giving himself a second lease of life.
Restoration work on the château has already begun. A complete restoration including all roofing, joinery and plastering began in 2019 and is ongoing.
