THOURY CASTLE
Castle with irregular pentagon-shaped enclosure and punctuated with towers, main building with round tower and ogival porch.
In the 13th century, a motte ditch was built to support the castle. The English seized the building in 1363. On his return from captivity in 1367, Louis II of Bourbon took the castle and restored it. The enclosure of this castle is in the form of irregular pentagon, and punctuated with towers. The main building of the fourteenth century, restored to 1960, flanked by a round tower containing the spiral staircase overlooking the courtyard. The ogival porch is from the 15th century. In the 17th century, the drawbridge of the small fortress was removed. The ditches were filled in in 1870.
