Basilica of Our Lady of the Children

Highlight • Other

Neo-Gothic religious building which has served as a place of pilgrimage since 1866, when it was built following the subscription launched to rebuild the church of Châteauneuf-sur-Cher which was in very poor condition. Father Jean-Marie Ducros asked all the children of France to send “two sous” in exchange for a prayer to the Virgin Mary. The basilica was so named following the letter that a 10-year-old child sent to the abbot in response to this subscription, in which she used this expression.

Château de Châteauneuf-sur-Cher

Highlight • Castle

Château built during the Renaissance which belonged in particular to Colbert, the financial controller of Louis XIV.
In 2001, it was divided into 60 apartments by a real estate developer but work stopped due to lack of payment in 2006. In 2015, it was bought lot by lot by the current owners who have since tried to restore it.
The building has been listed as a historic monument since 1926.
