Built at the end of the XVth century, château de Fougères-sur-Bièvre can be seen as the ideal fortified castle, with its dungeon, its curtain walls supervised by machicolations and its fortified postern gate. Located near a river, with its medieval style vegetable garden, it brings together heritage and nature. Centre des monuments nationaux, a national public institution, opens to public and runs the Chateau de Fougères-sur-Bièvre.
