Castle in Saint-Règle near Amboise

The Château des Arpentis was formerly a fief and a Lordship dependent on Amboise. It is built in the commune of Saint-Règle and stands at the foot of the hillside, on the banks of the Lamasse stream. The village's location is remarkable, 3 kilometers from the Royal City of Amboise in the heart of Touraine, halfway between Tours and Blois. The first known lord was Christophe Thomas in 1313. Around 1410, the castle became the property of Jean du Bois, steward to the Duke of Guise. In the 16th century, it belonged to men-at-arms, then, in 1612, to Louis Charles d'Albert, Duke of Luynes, at whose home King Louis XIII dined on June 20, 1619. The walls of the moat surrounding the castle and The structures supporting the terrace date from the 17th century. The terrace is punctuated by casemates, some of which are still preserved. The building was extensively restored in the 19th century. Today, this property sits majestically in the middle of a peaceful 30-hectare wooded park, crossed by the Lamasse stream and its pond.
