Main image

Château de Troussay is a small Loire Valley château in Centre-Val de Loire near Cheverny, with origins in the late medieval and Renaissance periods and later domestic remodelling. It is notable for its compact scale and preserved period interiors.

The site presents furnished rooms and historical collections that reflect the château’s domestic history rather than major fortification or royal use. The grounds include formal gardens scaled to the small footprint of the estate.

The château was built in the late medieval to early modern period and has been preserved and managed as a small historic house and garden, retaining elements from several centuries of occupation.

It lies in the Loir-et-Cher department, a short drive from Cheverny and within the Loire Valley region east of Tours.

  • Small size and interiors: One of the smaller Loire châteaux, often noted for its intimate scale and preserved interiors rather than grandiose scale.

What to See #

  • Main château: Compact main building containing period rooms and display spaces presenting interior decoration and collections from the château's successive owners.
  • Gardens: Formal gardens and a small park area surrounding the château, maintained in styles reflecting its historic layout and intended for visitor circulation.
